Cory Doctorow<p>These aren't just any scabs, either. They're predominantly Black workers who rely on the $700m <a href="https://mamot.fr/tags/Instawork" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Instawork</span></a> app for gigs. These workers are being dispatched to cross the picket line without any warning that they're being contracted as <a href="https://mamot.fr/tags/strikebreakers" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>strikebreakers</span></a>. When workers refuse the cross the picket and join the strike, Instawork cancels all their shifts and permanently blocks them from new jobs.</p><p>This is a new, technologically supercharged form of illegal strikebreaking. </p><p>11/</p>
