Court rules Addison Lee drivers are workers, not self-employed

Minicab drivers for Addison Lee are not self-employed contractors but workers with rights and are entitled to the national minimum wage and paid holiday, according to the latest gig economy verdict from the employment appeals tribunal. The tribunal confirmed an earlier ruling in a case brought by three drivers for the company that they were entitled to the minimum wage from the time they logged on as ready to take passengers to the time they logged off.
