These FTSE listed companies, Deliveroo Plc (LON:ROO), PPHE Hotel Group Limited (LON:PPH), ITV PLC (LON:ITV), Rio Tinto (LON:RIO), and Royal Dutch Shell Plc (LON:RDSA), are set to make headlines today.
- Deliveroo Plc (LON:ROO)
The company which had a blockbuster IPO recently has found a boost in a legal battle. Some of its riders had attempted to get legal status as employees. The court of appeal endorsed earlier verdicts in which food delivery persons were defined as self-employed. This decision was hinged on the fact that riders could arrange substitutes to finish their duties in case they were unable to or did not want to.
