Three Britain delivery companies used by Amazon are facing legal action over gig economy working practices. The GMB union said it was making the complaint on behalf of members working for Prospect Commercials, Box Group and Lloyd Link Logistics, accusing the firms of wrongly classing the drivers as self employed. This denied the claimants, all of whom delivered parcels for Amazon, employment rights such as national minimum wage and holiday pay, the GMB added. Two of the three claimants also claim they were dismissed after raising concerns about working practices.
