Bhenind the scenes a new ap, Young Ones is driving gig economy work in some retail sites this season; the ap, allows freelancers to be booked for retail shifts at short notice (and includes a review function whereby employers rate their work, thereby impacting on future hiring opportunities).
As Sarah O'Connor (FT) notes the problem is the ratings judgement cannot be appealed & of course it keeps workers outside employment protections (again).
Look exploitative to me!
