SEED is hosting the viewing of “The Gig is Up” film which is presented through the Planet in Focus International Film Festival, Cross Canada Campus Tour on Thursdays, September 28th at 7:00pm in EV3-1408.
THE GIG IS UP uncovers the real costs of the platform economy through the lives of workers from around the world for companies including Uber, Amazon and Deliveroo. From delivering food and driving ride shares to tagging images for AI, millions of people around the world are finding work task by task online. The gig economy is worth over 5 trillion USD globally and growing. And yet the stories of the workers behind this tech revolution have gone largely neglected. Who are the people in this shadow workforce? THE GIG IS UP brings their stories into the light.
Please RSVP for the event if you can join us! Light snacks will be provided.
