Ownership of duty, what to expect----

[deadbox]

Article on the BBC News website about a cleaner in the GIG economy, later in the article it refers to PARCELFORCE employee's being fined £250 for being ill and not arranging cover for the round that day !

It could be us next !

It is not unheard of for gig economy workers to be charged for days they do not work.

Earlier this year, the Guardian reported that Parcelforce couriers who make deliveries for Marks & Spencer, John Lewis and Hamleys could be charged up to £250 a day if they were off sick and could not find someone to cover their shift.

Nobody wants to strike, but faced with this future we may not have a choice.

Think that might just apply to the self employed owner drivers.
