    "वैसे भगत सिंह तो सब चाहते है, पर अपने घर में नही पड़ोसी के घर में। इसलिए हम किसान को अन्नदाता मानते हैं। " Favorite line from an article by a noida based gig worker, that I am editing for the December issue of 's TechPeople magazine. Really excited about this one.

    I think the 2018 Kisan Long March was a turning point for many. I responded to a tweet had put out for a left theory study circle in 2019, and got irrevocably involved in left organising/ politics, even though it wasn't my primary motivation at the time :)

    At the time, many people asked what the protest achieved. Large movements like these build up to larger movements, and soon enough they weaken despotism. The people learn to organise and resist. This movement is what finally got me into left politics -

    A sizeable segment of gig workers, atleast in India, are full time workers. The only way these unprofitable platforms can meet their monoply ambitions is by mass hiring workers with no protections. Doesn't matter how they spin it, everyone can see through their blatant lies.(2/2)

    Moreover the claim of 'flexibility' in gig work is a LIE. In India, zone managers will call a gig worker to login if demand is high. Some platforms levy penalties if a job is cancelled. Many workers stick to 1 platform because incentives are based on full/half time shifts. (1/2)

    Uber, Lyft, DoorDash, & the rest of the gig companies talk about flexibility all the time, saying drivers will lose it. But that's entirely up to them. If they want to ensure flexibility in the app, they can *design* that—that's their whole job! Designing apps & workflow.
