A new report by the CUNY School of Public Health is the first comprehensive look at the occupational risks faced by delivery workers since New York City implemented sweeping reforms for the industry.

Delivery riders in Edinburgh have launched a new “fair work” charter to demand “basic workers’ rights” from food delivery firms. The Workers’ Observatory and the ROOM delivery rider collective are attempting to tackle inequities and exploitation in the gig work system. They say food delivery riders and gig workers often miss out on basic workers’ rights such as the minimum wage, sick pay, and holiday pay due to their status as self-employed. Gig workers have also been effectively excluded from policy discussions on fair work in Scotland – which have focused on employees – as a result of this status, they claim.

The Charter follows the principles in Scotland's Fair Work Framework and highlights the distinct needs and challenges for workers in the platform economy.
