Minimum standards for on-demand food delivery workers
The delivery workers risking their lives bringing food to your couch will now be paid a minimum of $31.30 an hour across Australia.
"The Fair Work Commission (FWC) on Tuesday issued a new minimum standards order for gig workers who perform on-demand delivery of food, drinks, or groceries, and the operators of the digital platforms who engage their services."

#Brazil #GigEconomy #DeliveryWorkers:"That afternoon, a crowd of drivers gathered outside the delivery address, chanting “justice.” Another group of drivers came later in the evening to keep the pressure on, revving their bikes and making noise. As the news spread between friends and across WhatsApp groups, there were plenty of drivers willing to join in.
Named after the sound of a revving motorbike, these bololô protests have become a common tactic for delivery drivers in Brazil. Often, they’re used as a response to physical threats or racist attacks on the workers. Because drivers have little recourse for nasty customers on the apps that employ them, the bololô has become both a last resort and a rallying cry, drawing together drivers in a noisy show of solidarity.

In addition to revving bikes, a typical bololô includes workers driving around in circles, honking, chanting, and often setting off fireworks. A single gathering can last from as little as five minutes to as long as an hour, and a single incident might provoke multiple gatherings on the same day. Most bololôs are organized spontaneously by friends and coworkers of the aggrieved driver."https://restofworld.org/2023/bololo-delivery-workers-fireworks-horns-protest/

Communication and Work from Below: The Role of Communication in Organizing Delivery Platform Workers
"This article analyzes the role of communication with delivery platform workers, drawing on research in the United Kingdom and Brazil. It discusses the relationship between communication and work from a Marxist perspective, the importance of communication “from below” among workers, and the contradictory role of communication. On the one hand, it enables the circulation of workers’ struggles as the first step of organizing. On the other hand, communication is just one of the dimensions of platform work, comprising one part of the new technical composition of work. We argue that this new technical
composition repositions the role of communication to the center of the analysis once it creates an infrastructure of communication among workers that enables and shapes their struggles. From research data, the article analyzes three dimensions of communication in delivery platform work: communication at work; communication through social media; communication in struggle. It discusses the contradictory role of digital infrastructures in workers’ organization, arguing that delivery platform work creates a different relationship to power and communication from traditional industrial sectors."
