> so what is preventing these companies from forcing the uber/delieroo drivers to be freelance solo classification?

Right now nothing, that's why they want to change it.

You just have to set the rules. For example when I get an uber I often check the driver profile, someone with 27 000 trips in 3 years isn't a gig worker. When you have a student delivering food 3 hours a week to pay his friday night bar trip it's completely different. Right now both are in the same category

So it's only gig working if you work full time? What about other freelancers that work full time? Should they be classed as employees too, or are we singling out gig workers here?
