Unions say that the government's change to employment law restricting contractors from challenging their status in the employment court, is a step in the wrong direction. 

The change comes off the back of the landmark decision by the employment court to grant four contract uber drivers the status of an employee. The government now wants to prevent this from happening again. 

E Tū Union National Secretary Rachel Mackintosh says this change will lock in the exploitation which Uber’s current model relies on. 

Producer Evie spoke to Mackintosh about why the government is implementing the changes and how it will negatively affect workers.
