4 - Fix the Gig Economy


Listen Later

“… as the repulsiveness of the work increases, the wage decreases.”

In their push to join the Canadian Union of Postal Workers, Foodora employees are rallying to unionize. We happen to have a Foodora “contractor” hosting this podcast. The DCJ pod also happens to be extremely horny for labour movements. We discuss how the the rise of the gig economy has brought forth a resurgence of union organization, and how disgusting it feels to acknowledge that in the year TWO THOUSAND AND NINETEEN. Thanks Delivery Hero!

We end the pod with a reading of Brian Lilley’s latest Toronto Sun heat check. This time, Bry owns the libs by taking down the communist protest outside of Queen’s Park earlier this month. The protesters were calling for Doug Ford’s head with a large fake guillotine and signs that read “Fuck Ford”. Those are all things we are horny for as well.
