Andrew Boxer was told by managers at the London-based private hire and courier company that he could not work when they realised he had won an employment tribunal case against Excel, according to his union. “It was shocking.”The IWGB has backed successful employment tribunal claims for gig economy workers at Uber, Excel and CitySprint. “They are punishing a courier for having the courage to claim his unpaid holidays and minimum wage. For this, Addison Lee will pay a heavy price.”A spokesman for Addison Lee said: “Addison Lee is committed to fair and respectful treatment of all its contractors. We are now reviewing the matter and it would be wrong to comment further until that review is complete.”
