The ‘Fairwork UK Ratings 2022: Collective Worker Power’ report evaluates 15 of the United Kingdom’s largest digital labour platforms – Amazon Flex, Bolt, Deliveroo, Getir, Gorillas, Helpling, Just Eat, Ola, Pedal Me, Care.com, Stuart, Taskrabbit, Uber, Uber Eats and Yoopies – against five principles of fair work (fair pay, fair conditions, fair contracts, fair management, and fair representation), giving each platform a score from 0 to 10.
The Fairwork UK team will give a brief presentation with key findings from the report.
