‘Exploitation’ | Drivers to battle Royal Mail e-Courier for worker classification & access to 'basic' rights

A group of drivers has filed legal action against Royal Mail eCourier, arguing they were misclassified as self-employed independent contractors and therefore denied key workers’ rights.

15 former drivers have brought the claim against e-Courier as members of the Independent Workers’ union of Great Britain (IWBG), through law firm Leigh Day.
