Deliveroo riders have been ruled self-employed by labour law body the Central Arbitration Committee (CAC).
The test case was brought against the delivery company by the Independent Workers Union of Great Britain (IWGB) .
The IWGB said the ruling showed a majority of Deliveroo riders wanted workers' rights and union recognition.
But the CAC found they were self-employed because of their freedom to "substitute" - allowing other riders to take their place on a job.
