Delivery drivers and other app-based workers often struggle to improve their difficult, and even dangerous, working conditions. In the final episode of My Boss Is a Robot, two veteran union organizers offer insights and strategies that gig workers can use to win their rights on the job–from the nuts and bolts of nurturing leaders and tapping into social media to connect with each other, to taking their campaign to the public and media. Says one organizer: “It’s the most amazing thing you’ve ever seen when people take their power back, and collectively.” Episode summary
