A confusing action from UFCW. It reminds me that unions dont represent workers without that act of unionizing and on-going worker participation.

Food delivery workers marching to pressure NYC to pass regulations protecting workers. This points to taxi regulations from the mid 20th century.

New digital picket lines.

[Jon Woodside @CommEats]

This is a really exciting development that I need to learn more about. Energy is really mounting to challenge platform firms directly at their sources of power: jurisdictional arbitrage, algorithm as trade secret, contractor relationships...

These initiatives recognize the role of platforms as critical infrastructure but do nothing to create accountability in this market rife with power imbalances even as they sponsor and promote the platform's operations.

This is a really informative and hopeful discussion of monopoly power and public policy.

[Jon Woodside @CommEats]

This was a really excellent discussion.

2000+ people across North American cities joined
this anti-Black racism & urbanism convo. I was so honoured to share space w/ @TamikaButler, @orlandopbailey, @WillProsper & Anthonia Ogundele—truly stars. Proud to serve my cultural community & profession.

These mobike markets serve a real gap in the existing food infrastructure and the people I've spoken with are really lively small business people.

@internsrevolt I'm glad she shared it too because it is such a great paper. And beautiful images too. You have really captured a disconnect between city builders and creative people. Thanks

Uber Eats boycotts expanding. Now in my home town. https://t.co/PecD80AqBz

Uber retaliation against limits to their market power is predictable. But SF is more important to Uber than Uber is to SF in the long run.

Love @RonSexsmith @CBCToronto music recommendation: Tim Baker with All Hands. Starts slow and folky. Ends like a folk banger! I didn't know that's a thing.

San Fancisco limits delivery commissions to 15%. A life-line to restaurants stuck with delivery only and an exploitative new intermediary. https://t.co/sChPuZViLj

@JasonThorne_RPP @IndwellCA @HamiltonLibrary Love this connection! Libraries can be such versatile spaces for supporting people and livelihoods. This will be an exciting project to follow.
