Show Notes

This Matters introduces the first episode of the Toronto Star's six-part podcast Hustled, where the Star's labour reporter Sara Mojtehedzadeh takes us behind the scenes of a David vs. Goliath battle between a scrappy group of Toronto food couriers and the app company they work for.

EPISODE 1: David vs. Goliath

A group of scrappy food couriers has just won a major legal battle against a multinational app company. It's part of an ambitious effort to challenge the gig economy and become one of the first groups of app workers on the continent to join a union. In this episode, we go back to the start of the campaign and meet the characters behind it.
