Giy workers united: "We stand together, unite together in this this bid to have a better future" The gig economy is an 'attack on workers rights,' says the group's leader. Workers are separated from customers and adomized by their employers' whims. They say they can't pay for what they're owed because of misclassifying them as contractors.
Paris Marx is joined by Jennifer Scott and Brice Sopher to discuss the campaign to unionize Foodora and the fight for gig workers’ rights in Canada.
Jennifer Scott is a gig worker and president of Gig Workers United. Brice Sopher is also a gig worker and vice president of Gig Workers United. Follow Jennifer on Twitter at @PalimpsestJenn, Brice at @this_is_walmer, and Gig Workers United at @GigWorkersUnite.
