While we're celebrating the A'dam court's decision that Deliveroo riders should be classified as employees, riders online are not so happy - and this should give us some pause. Basically many are saying: if I wanted a minimum wage job I'd join Thuisbezorgd (Just Eats Takeaway)..
While they like the idea of getting paid for waiting time, they are afraid that they 1) won't be able to reject orders anymore, 2) will lose free login (i.e. no more working whenever you want), 3) will see a limit to the number of hours they can work, ...
4) will be deactivated (because Deliveroo won't hire all of them as employees), 5) will only make minimum wage (instead of a chance to make more when it's really busy), 6) those on student visas won't be able to work over 16 hours, while they need more $ to support themselves.
