UpVote 11: Matthew Taylor on the gig economy, tech and work

The author of the Taylor Review came in to talk about his report on work – and things got a bit heated

On UpVote this week, we’re joined by Matthew Taylor, who recently published his review of modern working practices in the UK —looking at the hot topic of the tech-fuelled gig economy and its implications for workers.

In an — at times — heated exchange, Taylor, who is chief executive of the RSA and formerly served as the top political strategy adviser to Tony Blair, explains why his "brilliant" proposal doesn't deserve the criticism it's received.

UpVote is a Wired and Ars Technica UK co-production hosted by Rowland Manthorpe and Kelly Fiveash.
