Our deputation to Edinburgh Council highlighted the roots of falling pay and rising pressures for gig workers. City councillors singled out the Observatory's evidence as key to understanding the danger facing riders and the public. More in @TheScotsman: https://t.co/Ms9q9rtbwV

1. Everyone should get home safe. 2. Gig work should be fair work. In @TheScotsman I argue why @workobservatory is focusing on these two principles at today's roundtable in partnership with @Edinburgh_CC City Council and Edinburgh Fair Work Action Group. https://t.co/IaXP2niR7L

'Almost exactly a year since the riots that saw lynch mobs attempting to set fire to hotels accommodating migrants & refugees, the UK govt has decided to set loose another lawless mob onto blameless asylum seekers: food-delivery platforms.' My latest👇 https://t.co/JIU20yhvae
In Britain, hotels hosting refugees have become a target of anti-immigration rallies. Keir Starmer’s government is pandering to the protests — announcing a partnership with delivery app firms to identify asylum seekers working as riders.

Solidarity with London riders. Fortunately we've not heard of this happening in Scotland but please let us know of anything you notice. The crackdown is cruel and futile: https://t.co/TqikfHQ57k

The UK Government seems to be cooking up a nasty new slogan: stop the bikes.

Telangana Gig and Platform Workers’ Union (@TGPWU) office-bearer Shaik Salauddin said minimum wage was a key demand that would ensure equitable pay for all gig workers. The lack of this very safeguard is problematic. https://t.co/vyEy0gvhWd
