Bolt drivers win workers rights claim

Thousands of drivers working for ride-hailing and food delivery app Bolt have won a legal claim to be classed as workers rather than self-employed.

The ruling means drivers could be entitled to holiday and minimum wage, which lawyers said could lead to compensation worth more than £200m.

Bolt said it was reviewing its options, including grounds for appeal.

It pointed out that the findings of the Employment Tribunal were confined to drivers who were not on multiple ride-hailing apps.
