Working for an Algorithm
Getting food delivered or a ride to the airport with a press of a button has become the norm over the last several years. But what's it like to actually work for an app?

Join The Markup’s Dara Kerr for a discussion of the issues alongside Motherboard's Edward Ongweso, Hastings College of the Law at the University of California's Veena Dubal, and Gig Workers Collective's Willy Solis.
