Polly Smythe: Royal Mail is using a gig economy delivery app which claims to put "riders first" to try and break the postal workers' strike. Eight-hour shifts, to be completed in a Royal Mail vehicle, have been advertised on Ryde, a "last-mile" delivery business backed by venture capitalists. The in-app shift description on Ryde makes no mention of the fact that the available shifts are to break a strike by postal workers. The shift details read: "You will complete deliveries using the Ryde app and Royal Mail vehicles, earning an hourly wage. Please make sure you bring a writing pen and have watched the Royal Mail van safety video before you arrive at your shift." |
