The SEIU has said Uber's decision to grant worker status to British drivers debunked the \"scare tactics\" of rideshare companies in California.In a first for the European Union, Spain's government in March announced a deal that will recognise riders working for food delivery firms such as Deliveroo and Uber Eats as salaried staff following complaints about their working conditions.In Italy, prosecutors have told Uber Eats and other food delivery platforms their couriers are employees and not independent workers, fining them 733 million euros for breach of labour safety rules.","kind":"news","is_publish_news":true,"is_publish_highlight":true,"is_publish_live":false,"is_publish_wemedia":null,"editions":null,"column":"","sentiment":"0","news_tag":"","news_rank":0,"symbols":[],"gpt_button":1},"commentList":[{"id":132808247,"gmtCreate":1622078259889,"gmtModify":1634184068058,"author":{"id":"3582013951378523","authorId":"3582013951378523","name":"sh99","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/95985dfcd15851145b63b9903fdb5bfc","vip":1,"crmLevel":4,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"idStr":"3582013951378523","authorIdStr":"3582013951378523"},"htmlText":"like
