I’ve written a manual for @etuc-ces.bsky.social on platform work and health & safety. There’s nothing more important than life, and the way platform work is typically organised is systematically putting platform workers’ lives at risk. The story of Sebastian Galassi summed this up for me🧵

There has been a remarkable change in the ethnic and racial composition of Berlin's low wage workforce. In this piece with Sanam Roohi, I wrote about immigration procedures that claimed to recruit skilled workers, but became a pipeline to low wage work. www.thenewsminute.com/voices/why-g...

Students from India are bearing the entire business and legal risk of the German operations of venture-backed food delivery platforms such as Wolt, Uber Eats, and most recently, Lieferando. One only needs to observe the new "fat bikes" on the streets of Europe and ask, who is paying for them?

E-Bike-Fahrer von Lieferdiensten gehören in Großstädten zum Straßenbild, oft sind es indische Studenten. Doch weil sich die #Rider häufig selbst um ihre Arbeitsmittel kümmern müssen, kaufen sie mitunter am Zoll vorbei chinesische Billig-Modelle (Test/Abo) 👉 is.gd/bpbLQj @islandexpress.bsky.social
