5 months agoSo immoral': gig economy workers forced to pay fee to receive their wages
Tom Gillam, who has worked at least six shifts at the Emma Sleep's store in Manchester, said, "People do gig work for short-term cash ... it feels like we're being held to ransom, he said. It is so immoral it's unreal. Gillam, 37, claimed some of the workers at the store were last week still waiting to be paid for shifts in late November and early December. They can't really badger their managers because working as a freelancer you have no voice, you might not get any more shifts if you are seen as outspoken."
