This survey led by the University of Cambridge suggests that some two-thirds of riders and drivers for food delivery and ride-hailing apps in the UK may work in fear of "unfair feedback" and experience anxiety over sudden changes to working hours. The research compares gig economy experiences of "local" workers - those tied to locations, e.g. food delivery riders - with those whose labour is digital, such as data entry or coding, and so can "remote" work from anywhere.
