Ahead of rulings both in the UK and the USA, rulings that will decide the future of the app-based cab-hailing app, Darren Grimes explores if the app and the wider gig economy itself is worth saving.

Does Uber empower its drivers, offering them flexible working hours and freedoms and liberties that simply aren't available in contracts offering full-time employment? Or does Uber exploit its workers in not paying holiday or sick pay as well as other benefits?

Joining Darren to discuss is Mark Littlewood, Director General of the Westminster-based think tank, the Institute of Economic Affairs.
