Description
The Unions NSW report provides a case study of Airtasker, looking specifically at the industrial implications for workers. Airtasker is the leading provider of online facilitated task-based work, and is representative of the industrial risks associated with the disintegration of traditional jobs into short term tasks, often referred to as the ‘gig economy’. The Unions NSW report explores the ways Airtasker has used the cloak of innovation to pursue archaic and out-dated labour practices.
