Description
This Matters will broadcast the Toronto Star’s six-part podcast Hustled each Monday, where the Star’s labour reporter Sara Mojtehedzadeh takes us behind the scenes of a David vs. Goliath battle between a scrappy group of Toronto food couriers and the app company they work for. EPISODE 3: Oshidashi Technology is at the heart of the battle between Foodora and its workforce. The app company says it’s simply a platform that connects customers with couriers — not an employer. In this episode, we explore the tension that lies just beneath the seductive veneer of convenience and efficiency created by apps. Listen here every week or subscribe to Hustled.
