The Gig Economy Project has made the (inevitable) move to Substack.
We have plans for live GEP forums and a wider range of content, but it needs to be funded!
We are looking for 100 subscribers to step-up & donate €5 a month to make GEP sustainable ⬇️

In 15 minutes we are going to be discussing alternative business models to Uberisation.
We'll hear about 'Tap-a-taxi', which has taken Dublin by storm over the past 6 months, and 'PedalMe', which promotes itself as 'slavery-free logistics'.

Reminder that our CEO @Knowlesy83 will be here talking about other ways forward than Uberisation.
We can have an empowered, safe work force and better logistics - but we need the regulators to step in to help.
