Join Urban Worker Project, Justice for Foodora Couriers and allies on June 26th:

The gig economy presents some new barriers and conditions are tough for workers who need to assert our rights and organize. Employers skirt around labour regulations, or flat-out deny that they’re employers. Are labour and community groups coming to grips with how to support and organize workers? What tactics are there to help us in today’s work environments and in the future? And with so much to gain in terms of safety, security, compensation, and other issues, what specifically are we fighting for in today’s struggles? It’s complicated and it’s a steep climb, but there are bright spots and success stories already. Join us to explore the issues and build unity!
