Meanwhile in the gig economy, workers are finding their pay being docked for no apparent reason & are excluded from bookings/work by the ap... and there is little recourse from an automated system that few understand how it works.
I've said it before, the gig economy's innovation is not technological it is a system to remove workers' rights, and exploit them, to enhance profits... this is just Victorian working practice for the new millennium!
Apparently, Ryanair, one of Europes largest airlines is gig-only. Theeir pilots have to set up as self-employed and are contractors not employees - so no holidays, no sick pay, no employee style benefits whatever!
