An explainer on what “engaged time” means in the gig economy and why all workers should stand against it #onpol #canpol #topoli #canlab #onlab #gigeconomy

Challenge: reporters specify that pay is for “engaged time” Difficulty: impossible This is not a min wage. This is not a living wage. Half of workers’ time is idle time. Apps have all the control. Workers deserve better

Walked through the Annex this afternoon, spotted tonnes of cyclists on Bloor, probably 1/3 of whom were food delivery workers. Where is DoorDash Uber Eats or Skip to defend the safety of food delivery workers? Gig Workers United RideFairTO #CycleTO #BikeTO #TOpoli

👇🏼An injustice to ⁦TTCriders⁩ ⁦Gig Workers United⁩ took place at the TTC Board. Banning e-bikes on TTC in winter months is inequitable & counter productive to achieving #TransformTO & a sustainable, affordable multi-modal future. #TOpoli torontotoday.ca/local/transpor…

“Regardless of the type of goods they carry, all delivery workers in New York City face significant risks and deserve safety, dignity and respect for their rights.” — Workers Justice Project ✊🏾❤️ Executive Director Ligia Guallpa
