Pizza hut sham contracting. Is Uber next?

Watch this space as Uber are probably next to answer some serious questions...

What is sham contracting:
"A sham contract is when an employer deliberately disguises an employment relationship as an independent contracting arrangement, instead of engaging the worker as an employee. This is usually done to avoid paying employee entitlements such as superannuation, workers' compensation, leave, and certain taxes."

 

The UberEats setup is very similar.
