UK driver employment-status dispute
A UK Employment Tribunal ruled that Bolt drivers covered by the proceedings were workers rather than self-employed independent contractors. The case involved approximately 10,000 current and former drivers seeking minimum-wage and other employment-related protections. The decision challenged Bolt’s contractor-based operating model and created potential financial exposure, although the final value of claims was not established in the provided source.
