Hired

Six Months Undercover in Low-Wage Britain

James Bloodworth

This eye-opening work delves into the gig economy as journalist James Bloodworth spends six months undercover in low-wage jobs. From an Amazon warehouse to driving for Uber, he discovers the anxieties and hopes of working-class individuals, young students, and immigrants. This is a gripping examination of a divided society in need of understanding the true realities of others before it can heal.

If governments worldwide continue to let Big Tech companies acquire monopolistic dominance then unions are workers’ only defence. And, as @J_Bloodworth has documented in his must-read book ‘Hired’, Amazon can be a horrible employer.      source
