Report: NYC Food Delivery Workers Face Low Pay, High Risks
New York City's 65,000+ food delivery workers were celebrated as essential workers throughout the pandemic. But according to a damning new study, they aren't actually being treated that way—instead, they routinely earn low wages well below New York's minimum wage, lack basic labor and employment protections, and face dangerous working conditions on the streets of NYC.

Returning to the topic of transparency... An article about “Our Transparent Future: No secret is safe in the digital era” - by Daniel C.
