New - Oxford University research in partnership with @Workerinfox exposes deepening exploitation of Uber drivers by algorithmic pay https://t.co/RJZrGYPiN4

OPZZ Konfederacja Pracy oraz Fundacja im. Róży Luksemburg organizują 6.11 premierę filmu „Kiedy algorytm jest szefem”, który pokazuje realia pracy osób pracujących jako Dostawcy dla Platform. To chyba pierwszy tego typu film w Polsce a może i na świecie https://t.co/ruXPuy1eFJ

CZY PLATFORMY ODPOWIADAJĄ ZA NASZE WYPADKI? Opublikowano wyniki badań, które analizowały sytuację osób pracujacych jako Dostawcy dla Platform w Korei. Autor zwraca uwagę, że w pierwszej połowie tego roku zginęło aż 16 Dostawców #zentrale_przeglad_mediow https://t.co/30epMu8dVT

<Why “Algorithm Inspection” and “Safe Rates” Matter for Preventing Rider Injuries> This document is the English translation of a paper I presented at a forum in Korea. It covers high accident rate in delivery riders and how to prevent it. https://t.co/cjE9C6KFMk

The Gig Economy Project newsletter is out! The European Commission wants to lay out the red-carpet for robo-taxis to be legalised in Europe, but has any thought been put into what this will mean for the continent's drivers? Get the newsletter here: https://t.co/GF8A2WaPUi

What we’re demanding: Ban biometric & bulk surveillance Publish anonymised journey data for public oversight Make algorithms accountable & bias-tested Cap ghost-cruising fleets Levy operator fees for worker/community funds Protect workers with fair standards & a just transition

And it’s not just privacy. England has 381,000 taxi & PHV drivers whose livelihoods are at risk from robo-taxis. The govt promises 38,000 new AV jobs but most will be outsourced, low-paid, precarious, and under algorithmic control.

We’ve seen this before. Our Managed by Bots report showed how Uber became an intelligence source for police, receiving thousands of data requests from Met police, not to mention the sharing of "soft intelligence" AVs will multiply this across entire cities.

The govt’s consultation gives broad powers for police to access this data — no warrants, no strict limits, no deletion rules. In the US, police already tap robotaxi footage to monitor protests & investigate crimes.

AVs are mobile surveillance platforms: 360° cameras, LiDAR mapping buildings & pedestrian movement, continuous audio capture & wireless tracking...

The UK govt is fast-tracking autonomous vehicles (AVs) onto our streets by 2026. But this isn’t just about transport. It’s about handing vast surveillance powers + precarious jobs to private tech giants.

#JustEat couriers from #Potsdam and #Berlin are standing strong against you outsourcing to criminal FAKE subcontractors like Fleetlery and Co. #Prosus and #Naspers stop cooperating with criminals! We want LEGAL work! When does Berlin follow NRW, @CanselK @pascalmeiser?

Uber Eats, Glovo & Bolt brutally exploit food delivery workers in Kenya. But the Digital Boda Association is one of several unions fighting back hard by organising for better pay, public policy, casework and even a credit union to keep drivers safe from predatory lenders. 1/

Great to have this wonderful resource back and thanks to ETUC.

Uber's 'dynamic pricing' slashes driver wages, study finds https://t.co/ib4xHVMr3L

Uber was the original bad boy of the gig economy. Is it slipping? Researchers from Oxford University analysed data from 1.5 million trips and found that “dynamic pricing” boosts Uber’s profits but drivers and passengers lose out. Full story 👇 https://t.co/73hTR84JtZ
