This week gig workers, trade unions and human rights groups launched a campaign for greater openness from Uber Eats , Just Eat and Deliveroo about the logic underpinning opaque algorithms that determine what work they do and what they are paid.
The couriers wonder why someone who has only just logged on gets a gig while others waiting longer are overlooked.
“We can never work out the algorithm,” says one of the drivers.
“Every worker should understand the basis on which they are paid,” Farrar said. “But you’re being gamed into deciding whether to accept a job or not. Will I get a better offer? It’s like gambling and it’s very distressing and stressful for people. “You are completely in a vacuum about how best to do the job and because people often don’t understand how decisions are being made about their work, it encourages conspiracies.”.
