Amend employment law to classify all people in the gig economy as workers

What the petition asks
Enact laws to classify all gig economy workers (eg. food delivery drivers) as 'workers', ensuring minimum wage, paid holiday, pension entitlements, and creating more opportunities for collective bargaining.
I believe that many workers in the gig economy face exploitation and a lack of rights as they are not recognised in law as workers. We think that legislative change to allow these rights is vital for fair wages, job security, and to combat potential economic injustices in the gig economy.
