There’s a lot of excitement coming from the union movement and the usual suspects among the commentariat over the recent ‘Deliveroo’ decision. ‘This is the end of gig’, they triumphantly proclaim. ‘Yeh!’  

Sorry, folks, but I’ve a bucket of cold water to splash about. 

The unions are excited because the Fair Work Commission (FWC) has declared that Deliveroo food deliverers are employees and not independent contractors. The Transport Workers Union would be hopefull that the decision will push Deliveroo to enter enterprise agreements with it for example.
