Means test food couriers if they should be employed or be self employed.
Food couriers that work for companies like Deliveroo, UberEats, Stuart, JustEat and various other flavours. Have been recruited and they either work solely for the one company for more than 37 hours a week and those that don't make enough money, may work across other companies.
Please refer to these links on the California Bill to determine whether independent contractors are really independent or not.

You can't sign this petition because it was rejected. But you can still comment on it here at Repetition.me!
The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:
Petitions need to call on the UK Government or Parliament to take a specific action.
We understand you're concerned about food couriers but we're not sure exactly what you'd like the Government or Parliament to do. In particular, we're not sure what you mean by a means test or in what cirucmstances you want people to be recognised as employees.
You could start a new petition explaining clearly what you would like the Government or Parliament to do.
