I'm excited to share that I will be leading a roundtable on platform workers' mental wellbeing at the symposium ‘Platformwerk in goede banen’ on 16 February, organised by labour organisation de NSvP and Dutch research journal Tijdschrift voor Arbeidsvraagstukken.

Registration is still open: https://www.eur.nl/eshcc/evenementen/phuong-hoan-le-te-gast-bij-symposium-platformwerk-goede-banen-2023-02-16

For those who cannot attend or do not speak Dutch, feel free contact me here. 😁

"Flexibility is touted as the selling point in the case of gig economy, but it actually works in the favour of platforms rather than in the favour of gig workers, one of the researchers of the Fairwork India Ratings 2022 report tells 'The Wire'."

So auto drivers are striking to protest #Uber Moto as it threatens their livelihood with cheaper rides. On the one hand I don't like that moto drivers are getting the short end of the stick (their tires are deflated, they are intimidated if recognised by auto drivers). On the other hand, Uber Moto is as precarious as it gets: passenger on a two wheeler, the drivers balancing the phone on their lap to use GMaps... a clear recipe for disaster. (1/2) 🧵

Tonight’s labor focused reading is The Warehouse by Alessandro Delfanti, who interviewed Amazon warehouse workers in Italy, Spain, Canada, Germany, and the US. I had the pleasure of reading it in draft form and it’s great to see it in print from Pluto Press! #platformlabor #amazon #logistics
