Gig economy | Taxi app latest gig platform to face legal action over worker rights

A leading taxi app with over 12,500 drivers on its books is facing legal action, with many of its self-employed drivers set to challenge their employment status in a bid to be awarded employment rights.

Veezu says it is the UK’s fastest-growing taxi and private hire technology platform which, in 2022, helped passengers complete an average of one ride every two seconds.
