Gig worker rights matter - for all of us
As COVID-19 sweeps across the world, gig work is in demand. Shops, restaurants, and bars are closed; and with most traditional workplaces shut, workers are furloughed or asked to work from home. But that’s not true for everyone: our new lifestyle has led to an explosion in demand for home deliveries, from groceries to just about everything Amazon has on offer. And whilst some early reports suggested a slump in food delivery services as we rediscover the joys of home cooking, the experience of countries further down the COVID timeline shows a sustained surge in demand.
