GMB LAUNCHES COLLECTIVE GREIVANCE AGAINST BOLT IN HOLIDAY PAY LEGAL ACTION
The supreme court has already ruled on this and other companies have done the right thing, says GMB Union
GMB Union has launched a collective grievance on behalf of its members against platform-based private hire firm Bolt.
The union is seeking to secure future and past deductions of drivers’ earnings by Bolt in relation to holiday pay.
The UK Supreme Court has already confirmed workers using similar apps are entitled to holiday pay, establishing an industry standard that Bolt should follow.
Martin Smith, GMB Organiser, said:
“It’s a simple fact that Bolt owes drivers for holiday pay.
“The Supreme Court has already ruled on this and other companies have done the right thing.
“It’s time for Bolt to stop burying its head in the sand and pay drivers what they are legally owed.”
