Description
Foodora is bankrupt and leaving Canada. Now what? The popular meal delivery app is declaring bankruptcy and leaving next month. This, even while the demand for meal deliveries has arguably never been higher. The timing of the announcement is raising eyebrows with labour activists, as Foodora’s couriers have only recently won the right to unionize from Ontario’s labour relations board. Adrian Cheung talks to Sara Mojtehedzadeh, Toronto Star’s work and wealth reporter, on why one company leaving signals a much bigger problem for Canada’s gig economy. Please consider supporting the journalism of the Toronto Star.
