No, seriously, Uber is deciding what driver gets what job based on their weight, whether they ever missed a payment, what political associations they have. Algorithmic wage discrimination should be made illegal before it becomes the dominant business model.

DoorDash calls min wage for their workers “excessive.” They, Instacart, & UberEats have raised customer fees in protest. Seattle city council says they can’t stop them & is instead working to repeal min wage law. This is INSANE. Put a cap on customer fees. npr.org/2024/04/26/124…
the full video is even more shocking. then you learn they charged her with disorderly conduct and simple battery on a police officer 🙃 anyway you know you’ve lost control of the narrative when your white middle-aged tenured faculty are being treated like black teens on camera.

One of the biggest scams in the marketplace is the lie so many employers tell their workers about autonomy and independence as a justification for the denial of labor rights. Proud to help delivery drivers in Colorado take on algorithmic control. Thanks to legislative champions!

I had a great convo @TheHustle: "Gig drivers don’t face an edict for speed like past Domino’s drivers, but...the requirement to be fast is built into the job, w/ drivers hurrying to make financial incentives, avoid bad ratings, & ensure the food is warm." thehustle.co/originals/the-…

This story about virtual cashiers includes a picture of a app delivery worker trying to negotiate a pick up with a woman over zoom. This image is the perfect encapsulation of a Rube Goldberg machine whose only fiction is to avoid labor law. Horrifying! nytimes.com/2024/04/11/nyr…

Interesting piece about GW and how the metropolitan police have learned that force rarely works in response to protest: "D.C. police just schooled a university on freedom of speech rights" washingtonpost.com/dc-md-va/2024/…
App-based taxi and workers across America are set to strike on May 1 to protest exploitative practices by companies like Uber, Lyft and Doordash. A new report explores how it got to this point; @StreetsblogNYC break it down. nyc.streetsblog.org/2024/04/29/buy…
🧵 This is fascinating and I'll explain why. What Uber is patenting here is a machine learning driven technique to create a profile of your usual behavior when ordering a ride. They're developing this so they can tell when you're ordering a ride in "unusual circumstances."
This is a fascinating but creepy write up of an Uber patent which describes how passenger and driver psychological/emotional states are profiled and predicted.
Worth remembering that as an undergrad Cedric Robinson got suspended for a semester from Berkeley for organizing against the Bay of Pigs invasion
Inspiration for what DC/VA/MD should be looking to do in our region.

New national report exposes that the group Seattle City Council President Sara Nelson has elevated as “voice of workers” in effort to gut gig worker minimum wage is nothing but a front group run by Uber & DoorDash lobbyists.
🚨NEW: Uber is throwing a fit in Minneapolis over paying drivers fairly. We’ve studied their tactics since 2018 & found it’s part of a larger pattern. Here are 3 tactics we found that corps like Uber & Lyft use to exploit communities across the country 👉powerswitchaction.org/resources/disr…
CHANGE course. (This is why we all need an editor, and why I was pissed when the WAMU general manager laid off mine 🫠)
I left WAMU a week ago and I'm still rooting for the local newsroom there. I don't want to punish staff (or the region) for leadership's weakness & failures. But I am beyond frustrated that the general manager won't charge course, or even address the Washingtonian article.
New article out in @urbgeog: "I don't think anybody’s ever been to scale." It is about the interaction between organisational and spatial challenges for community nonprofits when they try to scale up, with a case study of Community Land Trusts. tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.10…

surprised, anyone? Turkish grocery delivery company Getir pulls out of Europe, U.S. reuters.com/business/retai…
Gett is one of the most important apps for black cab drivers in London but now design documents reveal that the firm (i) may secretly performance manage their drivers & (ii) tacitly admits that standby time is in fact working time that should be paid although they do not do so.
@snmarkley @SciReports This looks great, can't wait to dive in!
New paper out in @SciReports that examines the uneven racial geographies of private dock construction in Coastal South Carolina since the 1980s, raising questions about private property, estuarine ecosystem health, and who gets to access the water nature.com/articles/s4159…
