Survey reveals 9 in 10 gig economy workers suffer abuse at work
NINE out of 10 workers in the so-called gig economy have suffered abuse and violence at work, a new survey has revealed.
Two-thirds have been physically assaulted, and the worst-affected victims are black and minority ethnic (BAME) workers, of whom 60 per cent say incidents of verbal abuse and violence take place as often as once a month.
The survey was carried out by the Independent Workers of Great Britain union (IWGB), which accuses employers such as Deliveroo of failing to protect its workers.
