THREAD: Apps for things like ride-sharing and ordering a meal rely on a workforce to support what’s become known as the gig economy. What does it mean when your boss is an app? This #LabourDay, look back on @SaraMojtehedz's #podcast #Hustled: thestar.com/podcasts/hustl…
In the six-part series, @SaraMojtehedz followed a group of Foodora couriers who challenged the powerful business model — in a fight that could redefine the future of work. #Hustled #LabourDay (2/6) thestar.com/podcasts/hustl…
As part of her own research @SaraMojtehedz got a job as a Foodora courier to find out what life is like when your boss is an app. On the job, she uncovered some unexpected challenges and risks. #Hustled #LabourDay (3/6) thestar.com/podcasts/hustl…
As #COVID19 gripped the city, Foodora couriers found themselves working under even riskier conditions. #Hustled #LabourDay (4/6) thestar.com/podcasts/hustl…
Technology is at the heart of the battle between Foodora and its workforce. The app company says it’s simply a platform that connects customers with couriers — not an employer. #Hustled #LabourDay (5/6) thestar.com/podcasts/hustl…
After @SaraMojtehedz's work on #Hustled, couriers won a $3.46-million settlement from food-delivery giant Foodora following the company’s abrupt closure in Canada, announced two months after its workers won the right to unionize. #LabourDay thestar.com/business/2020/…
