Legal Director Maria Ludkin and Hermes courier David appear on BBC Radio 4's Today Programme after GMB, the union for couriers, launched legal action against the company. 

The case, which follows GMB’s landmark success against Uber, is on behalf of eight lead claimant Hermes couriers who are allegedly being denied their workers’ rights. Proceedings have now been lodged with the Employment Tribunal by solicitors Leigh Day.
