Hayley’s case is thought to be the first to test LGBT+ rights and discrimination in the gig economy.
This case focuses on dignity at work – a critical issue for those working for both established businesses and new gig economy companies.
Until January, Hayley worked at Gnewt Cargo where her duties were to load parcels onto her van and deliver them across central London.
The company classed her as an independent contractor running her own business.
She disputes that classification, arguing that she was either a “worker” or “employee” and so was entitled to the rights and benefits they receive.
