Can the gig economy last?

Description: When a former Deliveroo rider went through his earnings he realised he'd been taking home half the minimum wage. He's now suing the company, following a similar path to a Foodora worker who took that company to court before it shut down its Australian operations owing workers $8 million. It's no secret that wages and conditions in the gig economy aren’t good and while Deliveroo has defended it's practices pointing to the 'freedom' and 'flexibility' it offers, it looks like cracks are appearing in the business model.
