Happy to announce the publication of our co-edited book on Gig Work and Migrant Workers from Palgrave McMillan. 😊 I am grateful to all the contributors and especially the migrant workeres of Bangalore whose everyday resistance was the inspiration behind this book. 😊

Gig workers in Delhi suffer immensely from heightened air pollution, crossing even 1000 AQI. We conducted a health camp in Delhi for the gig & outdoor workers. Indian Govt should act to protect workers from climate crisis as well as make corporate platforms accountable.

My first post here, with our second paper. The field for this one was enthralling, like listening to a fairy tale. A modern day one, it was bloody, sweaty and hopeful. Like all the real fairy tales are. Let us know your comments. 😊
