New Podcasts from the Workers’ Observatory

We’re continuing to promote a variety of great podcasts that step beyond the content served up by the mainstream media. So we’re delighted to showcase the Worker’s Observatory podcast.

Listen to episodes 1 & 2 here: A new podcast from the Workers’ Observatory – Bella Caledonia

Here’s the next two episodes in their mini-series.

Workers Consulted on City Infrastructure

When national and local governments consult on decisions that affect gig workers’ conditions, from cycle lanes to street planning, workers should be consulted. Without input, they lack a voice on decisions affecting their safety. Why does cycling infrastructure often fall short, and how do we improve the process?

Expanded Access to Skills Development

One problem with gig work is that platforms provide no accreditation or certification of skills. While workers are often highly skilled, gig work can be a career dead-end. How can Holyrood include gig and migrant workers in its employability strategy?
