Words of Affirmation

The gig economy


Listen Later

This week we’re joined by Joe Durbidge to talk about the concept and meaning of “the gig economy”. We discuss how it’s a lot less fun than it sounds and how understanding workers rights for some shines a light on systemic patterns affecting the rights of us all. 


Words of Affirmation is a podcast from Care Full, hosted by Hannah Webster & Ruth Hannan. Our guest Joe Durbidge is a campaign-led researcher at IWGB and was previously a courier full time.
