Striking Workers Are Bringing Back 1970s "Mindfuck" Tactics

vice.com/en_uk/article/kzd7az/

"Deliveroo and UberEats riders, [...] are masters of the mindfuck. Because they’re technically self-employed, the laws on strike action and trade unions don’t apply to them. That means that the slow bureaucracy of postal ballots and turnout thresholds designed to prevent workers from taking collective action goes out the window. Instead, these workers can just do what makes sense to them. The result has been an explosion in militancy, as the platforms try to cut their workers’ already-low wages. Strikes are now breaking out every couple of weeks with little or no prior notice. They’re organised through complex networks of encrypted messenger chats which are completely invisible to platform bosses, meaning that all their standard management techniques need to be rewritten."

Social media is not a replacement for face to face communication.

As I feel insanely low and sad, my cat doesn't want to leave me alone, that's the cutest thing I've never experienced. She even wants to stay on my lap when she hates that normally...

Good night fedi
May not be very active on fedi recently, I will as soon as I feel like it.
