Over 50 U.S. Gig Workers Murdered on the Job in the Past Five Years
Too Long; Didn't Read
A new study says more than 50 gig workers have been murdered in the U.S. over the past five years. Advocacy group Gig Workers Rising says the study fills the void of any company or government data on the dangers of gig work. The study draws data from a report on 124 carjackings of ride-hail drivers. The Markup independently verified the incidents listed in the report. Lyft disputes the report, saying the names of three of the drivers listed did not occur on the Lyft platform.
