- A Danish authority ruled that Wolt must compensate delivery drivers injured during work, treating them as employees.
- Wolt has challenged this ruling, claiming its drivers are self-employed partners rather than employees.
- The appeals process could last several years, possibly reaching Denmark's Supreme Court before a final decision.
- Injured couriers like Mahendra Poudel report lack of insurance coverage and financial hardship following workplace accidents.
It will take years to fight the case in court but for the poor workers like us, whether we win or lose, there is no justice.— Mahendra Poudel on the challenges faced by him and other Wolt couriers.
