Flash Pod: Big Tech on its Heels This Week (ICYMI)

There was so much going on this week we decided to do this special 6 minute flash pod to keep our listeners up to date! We've been tracking gig workers' legal battles around the world and this week's Supreme Court ruling in Canada was a great excuse- and important update to Episode 3, Judgement Day. But there were so many more actions against Big Tech this week including an Amazon workers' strike in Germany, the #StopHateForProfit campaign against Facebook, an important data sovereignty ruling in India and more driver actions in France, Brazil, Argentina and California. Catch up on the news as you wait for our next episode, The Gig Is Up!
