🔔 New open access paper out! Since it is ultimately the taxi drivers and their communities who make ride-hailing operational, I ask: could digital mobility platforms make cities better if they were worker-organized instead of technocentric and exclusivist as they currently are?

Spain: 60,000 people who work for delivery platform Glovo reclassified as workers thanks to strong government legislation.
That means respect of their workers rights to sick leave, holiday pay & collective bargaining.
If it can be done in Spain, it can be done throughout 🇪🇺

“Our investigations show that the platforms try to negate responsibility for monitoring their subcontractors, and that workers in a subcontractor relationship work under poorer conditions”, says @kuttob@wzb_berlin
#Fairwork's @kuttob is on the latest episode of the We Work Europe podcast by EZA (European Centre For Workers’ Questions) discussing the struggles and successes of improving platform work conditions across the EU.
