"Uber Australia has struck a historic agreement with the Transport Workers’
Union – a statement of principles that re-regulate work in the Australian
rideshare and food delivery industry.
This is a major shift to industrial relations in the gig economy.
Uber and its rival platforms have largely treated their workforce as
independent contractors, not employees with rights to benefits such as sick
leave, minimum wages or union representation.
Now the poster company of the gig economy has agreed with the union that
workers on the platform should receive some baseline conditions."
