In the Foodora case, the OLRB liberally applied the traditional tests for determining worker status, with the result that certain Foodora couriers were found to be "dependent contractors" and therefore eligible for unionization. The decision is reflective of a broader trend towards the extension of employment (or employment-like) rights to forms of work where the economic-status of a worker is closely tied to the particular business that has engaged that person. In the context of work specifically within the "gig economy", the decision is consistent with outcomes in California, the United Kingdom and, most recently, France, respecting the status of Uber drivers, all of which concluded that the drivers are in an employment relationship with Uber.
