The gig economy takes advantage of migrant workers until it suits them. This exploitative system must end. Change will only come by ensuring all workers have decent working conditions (a decent living wage plus stable contracts of employment). 2/2

Thiago Cortes
At 5pm.
A vigil for Brazil-born Thiago Cortes, a 28-year-old Deliveroo cyclist who was killed following a hit-and-run on the north Liffey quays on Monday night, will take place at The Spire, O’Connell Street, Dublin 1.
JEH writes:
I thought this was worth sharing as it’s a genuine tragedy and there are at least a few active cyclists on here.
Thiago had a wife and family, doing a job that so many people take for granted when they flip a few bob to the app for that delivery fee.
Cycling around at night, going to door-to-door to complete strangers during a global pandemic, all for a couple of beans per order.
I hope everyone can spare a thought for this poor fella next time they order delivery. There’s a cost greater than the 2.50 delivery charge.

Bicycle locked. Deliveroo bag ready for the day’s work. The new working homeless.
Government is failing to deliver public and affordable housing and failing to control rents.
Nom.
Gavan Reilly tweetz:
Interesting PR from Deliveroo – other than Leinster House (which has biggest population) the Govt building that orders the most takeaways is Josepha Madigan’s Dept of Culture & Heritage (although there are actually three depts in that building which may skew the figures)
This morning.

‘sup?/G’day
You may notice some advertising for a change for Deliveroo on the ‘sheet?
That’s because Broadsheet are the FIRST Irish website to become an affiliate partner with Deliveroo.
The deal means that it’s the last throw of the dice let’s face it Deliveroo will pay the ‘sheet for every reader that uses their service.
The more you eat the more we eat.
We take a sip of your milkshake. You drink the majority of it.
Are we disrupting the online advertising industry and indeed supply side economic theory or are we…hey, are you eating/having that?
Stevan Popovic, Affiliate Partnerships Manager at Deliveroo, sez:
“We’re very excited to be working with Broadsheet.ie as an affiliate partner, our first one in Ireland. We’re always looking to work with local partners and are always producing content with a distinctly Irish flavour and humour. We look forward to a flourishing partnership.”
*looks up meaning of ‘affiliate’*
Fupp yeah.
