Fair’s fair: Psychological contracts and power in platform work
Back in 2017 Prof. Mark Smith and I began studying food delivery couriers to understand why this new form of non-standard work was suddenly taking off, and what was motivating a wave of street protests and wildcat strikes that had emerged that summer.
