For as long as @DeptEnterprise enables @Deliveroo_IE to foster precarity and exploitation, migrant workers will be disproportionately put in risky situations. Structural violence and racism kill. Man, 30s, dies in motorcycle crash in north Dublin rte.ie/news/dublin/20… via @rte

The EP has approved the #platformwork text agreed with the Council, but the legislative process isn’t final. It needs a corrigendum, meaning post-EP elections, the @EPSocialAffairs will review the legal version. If unopposed, the plenary followed by the Council will adopt it!

A dispute over job cuts in Paris has turned into an international movement of Just Eat riders, who accuse the company’s CEO of saying one thing in public and doing another in practice.

The @corporateeurope revelations about Estonian platform Bolt shows the reach the platform lobby has had into the hearts of European governments over the Platform Work Directive. Corporate power is the No 1 threat to democracy in Europe. #PlatformWork twitter.com/project_gig/st…

I spent a week as a Deliveroo rider. And learnt a lot. First up, Deliveroo likes to claim you should earn at least the minimum wage of £11.44 while working. Me? I worked for 22hrs 50mins, rode 105 miles, did 27 drop offs and earned £120.38. That works out at £5.28 an hour🧵

The work assignment algorithms at Uber and others appear to be far more more intrusive of worker privacy than I had ever imagined.

A lesser spoken about part of the Platform Work Directive is article 13, which allows platform work reps to use data specialists to analyse the workers' data, & the platforms have to pay the cost! Forward-thinking unions will see this as a big opportunity. twitter.com/project_gig/st…
