A bicycle courier and two cleaners, all on low pay, and the Independent Workers' Union of Great Britain (IWGB) filed proceedings for a judicial review in the High Court last week to force Prime Minister Boris Johnson to abide by the Benn Act and ask for an Art 50 extension.
The case will run alongside a similar case brought by Scottish campaigners in the Court of Session. IWGB General Secretary Jason Moyer-Lee said: ‘Low paid workers need every tool possible to fight exploitative bosses and EU law has been crucial in that regard.’
