Ecosystem Updates

The founding convention of the International Alliance of App-Based Transport Workers (IAATW) was held near Oxford in the UK. It was hosted by the Independent Workers Union of Great Britain (IWGB) and included drivers from 23 countries. They formed a union. Gig Workers Collective is another experiment of worker power.

Brightly, a worker cooperative franchise, is providing a model of how to scale.

The Start.coop accelerator program added a new video featuring Jen from Savvy and Jeremy from The Staffing Coop talking about their experience building cooperatives and platforms. Learn more at http://start.coop
