Val and Faith share their bike moments before taking a look at some of the news and happenings coming up in Melbourne lately. The Streets People Love website has been updated with those candidates who engaged with the SPL community and were successfully elected identified by an orange border. In particular it is handy to know who in your local council has taken the Streets People Love pledge, and a great excuse to email your local councillors, introduce yourself and find out what plans they have to implement the actions described in the pledge locally. For those who live, work and ride in Yarra who are concerned about moves to get rid of or compromise bike infrastructure, take a look at the Yarra for Safer Streets site to see how you can get involved in protecting infrastructure for people on bikes. Coming up on Wednesday December 11th is the launch of a photo exhibition  ‘The Everyday Lives of Delivery Workers' at 6pm. We also take a look at the PETAL Project report "Unlocking young women's access to bike-riding" released last week. Dr Lauren Pearson reports on research into women aged 18-29, their interest in using a bike ro get around the the barriers they report to doing so, plus the solutions they come up with! 

Immigrant delivery workers protested outside the Midtown headquarters of DoorDash Wednesday, claiming the food delivery company owes them tens of thousands of dollars in unpaid wages. Meanwhile, WNYC's Liam Quigley reports on how the ongoing drought is causing a spike in brush fires across the metro area. Plus, New York City renters could soon be off the hook for broker fees. WNYC's housing reporter David Brand has more.

Temperatures are hitting all-time highs, with some cities reaching 25 degrees above average. Last week, the Biden Administration announced a proposed rule that would create heat protections for certain workers, including delivery drivers. But with companies like Grubhub and UberEats classifying delivery workers as “independent contractors,” what does that mean for some of the people most vulnerable to extreme heat? ‘Fast Company' staff writer Jess Bursztynksy gives us the latest on the state of delivery workers' rights in NYC and beyond. And Dr. Sophia Yen, founder of Pandia Health, talks about changing how people get essential healthcare, using algorithms in telemedicine, and how our political climate impacts women's healthcare businesses.

This week on CounterSpin: Many college students appear to believe that learning about the world means not just gaining knowledge but acting on it. Campuses across the country — Rutgers, MIT, Ohio State, Boston University, Emerson, Tufts, and on and on — are erupting in protest over their institutions' material support for Israel's war on Palestinians and for the companies making the weapons. And the colleges' official responses are gutting the notion that elite higher education entails respect for the free expression of ideas. Students for Justice in Palestine is working with many of these students. We talk with Sam from National SJP about unfolding events. Then, app-based companies, including Uber and DoorDash, are adding new service fees and telling customers they have to, because of new rules calling on them to improve wages and conditions for workers. The rather transparent hope is that, with a lift from lazy media reporting on worry about more expensive coffee, folks will get mad and blame those greedy bicycle deliverers. We ask Sally Dworak-Fisher, senior staff attorney at National Employment Law Project, to break that story down. Plus, host Janine Jackson takes a quick look at the TikTok ban.   The post Sam on Students for Justice in Palestine / Sally Dworak-Fisher on Delivery Workers appeared first on KPFA.

New Zealand Post plans to lay off 700 postal staff in the next five years, in favour of using contractors in vans.  Postal Workers Union Co-National President John Maynard tells Mike Hosking contractors don't have the same employment rights and employers will use contractors to avoid paying benefits such as annual holidays. The union believes a suitable alternative to the cuts is to maintain postal delivery on footpaths with smaller numbers.  The union believe this plan is a more efficient proposition to continue delivering letters than what NZ Post are currently planning.  LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Baruch Herzfeld is the CEO and co-founder of PopWheels, where he is working to develop New York City's first e-bike battery-swapping network. PopWheels aims to solve the growing problem of e-bike battery fires. The company believes that giving e-mobility users a quick, convenient, and safe way to recharge their batteries is absolutely essential to pushing gas-burning cars and trucks out of cities once and for all. But Baruch's really big idea is this: He is betting that the light, clean, electric transportation fleet of the future is already up and running on the streets of New York City. And it isn't being brought to us by Big Tech, Big Auto or Elon Musk, it is being driven by tens of thousands of immigrant e-bike delivery workers. What if there is a high-tech urban mobility revolution happening right under our noses, but we can't see it because the people who are bringing it to our city are mostly invisible to us? ***Support The War on Cars on Patreon and receive access to ad-free versions of all our episodes, exclusive bonus content and stickers.*** See The War on Cars LIVE at Caveat on NYC on Wednesday, January 31st.

Hello from the Hill! This week, we're joined by Ligia Guallpa, executive director of Workers Justice Project (WJP), a group that organizes low-wage, immigrant workers in New York City, including the app-based delivery workers who call themselves Los Deliveristas Unidos. WJP and the Deliveristas just won the passage of a mandatory minimum wage, a huge improvement for e-bike and car delivery workers on GrubHub, Uber Eats, and other platforms. (13:30) Ligia details the unique dangers that spurred the emergence of the Deliveristas as COVID hit New York and (31:00) offers some lessons learned from going against these big-tech titans and their algorithms. In this episode, we ask: How substantial was the shift towards app-based gig work during COVID, and what did that mean for  workers?  Is it necessary to focus on fighting worker misclassification?How did delivery workers overcome the immense challenge of organizing in a disparate, deliberately siloed workforce? For more, read: * A 2021 piece in The Verge about the early days of organizing among Los Deliveristas Unidos * Another horrific fire this week that may have been caused by improperly maintained e-bike batteries* A report on the backlash that threatened to derail WJP's minimum-wage fight * News that the NLRB recently reverted to an Obama-era test that could make it easier for gig workers to organize Thanks for listening!

We have another encore episode that we're really proud of. We'll be back next with more Internet awesomeness. -- Original Show Notes // October 11, 2021 -- If you live in a big city like New York, you know that delivery workers on bikes are vital for moving food and other resources from place to place, especially during the pandemic. But workers using apps like Door Dash and Uber Eats often have little recourse when something goes wrong, like a stolen bike or worse, a traffic accident. They're not employed by the tech companies, nor the restaurants they serve. And they're not top of mind for police, especially when many workers are undocumented and hesitant to report issues. That's where El Diario de los Deliveryboys En La Gran Manzana, a Facebook community for Spanish-speaking NYC delivery workers, comes in. That's where these daring cyclists trade tips and support one another when things go wrong. Alli and Lindsey talk with Sergio, the creator of the group, which now has thousands of members.

Filmmaker Jing Wang joins us to discuss her compelling short documentary A Winter With Delivery Workers. Winter has struck New York and the only souls stirring in the snow are the fearless delivery workers shuttling food deliveries to customers on their nifty ebikes. But lo and behold the ebikes have been banned in the city. Our guest walks us through what two years spent following the activists and immigrant delivery workers fighting to legalize ebikes in New York entailed. Certainly not a conversation to be missed!

每日英語跟讀 Ep.K107: ‘My Turn to Get Robbed': Delivery Workers Are Targets in the Pandemic   The delivery of restaurant orders and other goods has become a bigger part of daily life across the nation since the pandemic forced millions of people indoors. And in New York City the delivery workers have become a lifeline for people working from home and for vulnerable residents who have been warned against going outside. 自從新冠肺炎疫情迫使數以百萬計的人待在室內後，餐點等商品的外送服務在全美人民的日常生活中，分量變得更重了。而在紐約，對於在家工作者和被警告別外出的高風險居民而言，快遞員更成了他們的救生索。 On any given day thousands of men, and a growing number of women, can be seen crisscrossing city arteries, transporting takeout, groceries and medicine in plastic bags on top of their well-worn bikes. 每一天，數以千計男性和愈來愈多的女性騎著已經不新的電動自行車在紐約幹道上穿梭，把裝在塑膠袋裡的外送餐點、食品雜貨和藥品送到收貨人手中。 But their visibility has also made them targets for opportunistic criminals looking for a quick profit through robbery, as the unemployment rate has spiked into the double digits and economic desperation has grown in the city's less affluent neighborhoods, which were already hit hard by the pandemic. 不過，隨著紐約較不富裕的地區受到疫情重創，失業率飆升到兩位數，人們需錢孔急，處處可見的快遞員便成了想靠搶劫快速得到錢的投機罪犯鎖定的目標。 Stolen electric bikes can be easily sold on the streets for cash or dismantled for their parts. The bikes can cost thousands of dollars and are vital tools for the workers, who often make less than $60 a day. Many have come to rely on the bikes, because they can go about 20 mph, enabling workers to travel farther and make more trips to increase their slim bottom lines. 偷來的電動自行車很容易在街上轉賣或拆零件變賣。新的電動自行車售價可能高達幾千美元，而且對一天經常賺不到60美元的快遞員來說不可或缺。許多快遞員依賴電動自行車，因為這種車時速能達到32公里，讓快遞員能送貨到更遠處，並接更多單以增加微薄的收入。 The theft of electric bikes doubled during the first year of the pandemic, rising to 328 in 2020. 在疫情流行的第一年，也就是2020年，電動自行車竊案翻倍至328起。 Investigators said robbers often use fraudulent credit cards to call in bogus orders and lure delivery workers to secluded locations. The delivery workers then are faced with two dire options: let go of the pricey bikes they need to remain employed or risk injury and even death. 辦案人員說，搶劫者常常用偽造或偷來的信用卡下個假訂單，把快遞員引到偏僻處下手，快遞員接著會面臨兩個極端選擇，不是放棄賴以工作的昂貴電動自行車，就是冒著受傷甚至死亡的風險把自行車追回來。 “We believe more often than not it is a setup,” said Rodney Harrison, the New York Police Department's chief of department. 紐約市警察局總警監哈里森說：「我們認為這通常是設下的圈套。」 The northern section of Manhattan, Southern Brooklyn and the Bronx have seen the biggest spikes in robberies, investigators said. Most of the victims were threatened with sharp objects, guns and other weapons. 辦案人員指出，曼哈頓北部、布魯克林南部和布朗克斯的搶劫案增加最多。嫌犯多半拿銳器、槍枝等武器威脅受害者。 There were about 50,000 commercial cyclists in New York in 2012, the most recent year for which data is available, city transportation officials said. That figure has since soared, by some activists' estimates, to about 80,000. 紐約市運輸官員說，根據既有最晚近的資料，2012年紐約有5萬人騎自行車送貨。一些社運人士估計，此後這個數字暴增到8萬左右。 In October, more than 1,000 protesters joined a demonstration outside City Hall organized by a collective known as Los Deliveristas Unidos to call attention to the robberies and other poor working conditions, including low pay, a shortage of protective gear, and a lack of places to rest or use a restroom. 去年10月，1000多人在紐約市政廳外參加「快遞員聯合會」的抗議，要求大眾關注快遞員易遭搶劫等惡劣的工作條件，包括低薪、防護裝備不足、缺乏休息處和洗手間等。Source article: https://udn.com/news/story/6904/5332541   每日英語跟讀Podcast，就在http://www.15mins.today/daily-shadowing 每週Vocab精選詞彙Podcast，就在https://www.15mins.today/vocab 每週In-TENSE文法練習Podcast，就在https://www.15mins.today/in-tense 用email訂閱就可以收到通勤學英語節目更新通知。

While delivery by app can be both a convenience and a life-line, the people who make those deliveries often face huge challenges. Hildalyn Hernandez, Director of Policy & Strategic Partnerships for Los Deliveristas Unidos, a campaign fighting for app-based delivery workers, discusses why the essential workers who fed New Yorkers during the pandemic are asking for improved conditions and regulation of delivery apps—a life-line of their own.

Hildalyn Hernandez, Director of Policy & Strategic Partnerships for Los Deliveristas Unidos, a campaign fighting for app-based delivery workers, discusses why the essential workers who fed New Yorkers during the pandemic are asking for improved conditions and regulation of delivery apps—a life-line of their own.

Delivery workers are a vital part of New York City’s infrastructure, so much so that during the pandemic, they were hailed as heroes. But this class of workers is also abused, underpaid, exploited, and largely ignored. Now they’re fighting for protections and better working conditions — and making some headway. Investigations editor Josh Dzieza spoke with more than 20 delivery workers for this story, published by the Verge and New York Magazine. Thanks to Danilo Parra, New York Magazine, the Verge, and Vox Media for providing audio content for this episode. You can find their full video, “The Invisible 65,000,” here.

If you live in a big city like New York, you know that delivery workers on bikes are vital for moving food and other resources from place to place, especially during the pandemic. But workers using apps like Door Dash and Uber Eats often have little recourse when something goes wrong, like a stolen bike or worse, a traffic accident. They're not employed by the tech companies, nor the restaurants they serve. And they're not top of mind for police, especially when many workers are undocumented and hesitant to report issues. That's where El Diario de los Deliveryboys En La Gran Manzana, a Facebook community for Spanish-speaking NYC delivery workers, comes in. That's where these daring cyclists trade tips and support one another when things go wrong. Alli and Lindsey talk with Sergio, the creator of the group, which now has thousands of members.

Trong một sự kiện mang tính bước ngoặt trong nền kinh tế hợp đồng (gig economy), một nhân viên giao hàng đã thắng trong vụ kiện về việc sa thải bất công đối với hãng giao đồ ăn do Amazon hậu thuẫn Deliveroo.

"A decisão tem grandes implicações para todos os entregadores na Austrália,' disse o porta voz do Sindicato dos Trabalhadores do Transporte, após a Deliveroo ter perdido o processo de demissão sem justa causa movido pelo entregador brasileiro Diego Franco, de Sydney. A Justiça do Trabalho [Fair Work Australia] determinou que Diego era empregado da empresa e foi demitido sem justa causa. A Empresa disse que vai apelar da decisão. Para Diego a vitória siginifca que a "indústria toda das entregas vai ter que se adaptar e oferecer melhores condições, uma estabilidade melhor, maior segurança para os entregadores, uma das razões pela quais eu decidi entrar nessa disputa,” disse, à SBS em Português. Nessa entrevista ele fala sobre o que o moveu, mesmo sendo imigrante e sem o inglês como primeira língua, a levar à justiça uma das maiores empresas de delivery do mundo, a Deliveroo.

In a major boost for gig economy workers, a food delivery rider has won his case for unfair sacking against Amazon-backed Deliveroo.

In honor of May Day (celebrated world-wide on May 1st), we bring you four stories about workers organizing and unionizing around the country. First, we’ll start in our own backyard: New York City. We dive into the world of  food delivery workers and their efforts to legislate the delivery apps that push them around the City. Next, we’ll move upstate to and look at farm workers fighting for more overtime pay before turning to the Texas Service Industry Coalition. Finally, we’ll end this episode in San Francisco with Anchor Brewing. The brewery is over 100 years old and ratified its very first union contract in 2019. Although not officially recognized in the United States, May Day has its origins in America. On May 4th, 1886, workers gathered in Chicago’s Haymarket square to rally for an eight-hour work day. But a bomb was thrown into the demonstration, and several were killed. May Day commemorates the tragedy of the Haymarket Affair. But really, it celebrates every fight for better working conditions. Further Reading and Listening:There are two versions of our story on farmworker organizing for overtime pay in New York.

We're back for a May 1st Special episode to commemorate International Worker's Day! Happy May Day! For our May Day special, we're looking at the struggles of Delivery Workers in New York City - we speak with Katya and Juan Carlos, two delivery workers affiliated with Los Deliveristas Unidos, an up-and-coming Delivery worker organization. Katya is a Spanish-only speaker so Lupita Romero helped interpret this segment with us. Lea Ramirez and Julian Guerrero take on the debate around worker misclassification by Uber, Lyft, Doordash, and other App-based companies explaining how this issue is creating a second-class status for working people across the globe.

While some ghouls in Western countries might look at the horrors we discuss and say, “See, it could be worse.” We must instead assert, “No, it should be better.” Some stuff we reference: • Delivery Workers, Trapped in the System | Chuang: https://chuangcn.org/2020/11/delivery-renwu-translation/ • Social Contagion: Microbiological Class War in China | Chuang: https://chuangcn.org/2020/02/social-contagion/ Subscribe to hear more analysis and commentary in our premium episodes every week! patreon.com/thismachinekills TMK shirts are now available: bonfire.com/mech-luddite/ Hosted by Jathan Sadowski (twitter.com/jathansadowski) and Edward Ongweso Jr. (twitter.com/bigblackjacobin).

У Понедељак је у Новом Јужном Велсу почела сенатска истрага на којој су компаније попут Убера и Деливеру стале у одбрану свог модела пословања, у окиру којег одбијају да људе који раде за њих назову запосленима и да прихвате чињеницу да они имају право на минималну плату и компензацију у случају повреде током рада.

The labor market never stops evolving, especially during this critical period of the Covid-19 pandemic in Italy. Due to the steady decline in the job market and the huge increase in the demand for food and grocery delivery services, the employment rate for this sector has grown by 55% in comparison to data from 2019, according to the B2C e-Commerce Observatory. In light of the above, it is not surprising that issues regarding the contractual conditions of delivery workers are generally deemed as unfair on account of their formal status as “autonomous workers” – which has gained central focus in both public debate and in the courtrooms.
