Show Notes

Delivery riders in Edinburgh face daily dangers, including violence and theft. A new support hub, proposed by the Workers’ Observatory, aims to provide a safe space in the city center for rest, charging, and using facilities. The group, comprising workers, academics, and unionists, seeks broad backing to address the high incident rates in busy areas like Leith Walk and Stockbridge. Dr. Cailean Gallagher, leading the group, emphasizes the importance of data-driven strategies to advocate for change in the gig economy.
