Gig workers cry foul during protest against Urban Company’s instant services – ‘They pushed, touched us inappropriately’

Gig workers led a major protest against Urban Company on Wednesday — calling for an end to ‘instant’ services with impossible timeframes. The company has sparked outrage in recent months after urging ‘salon’ workers to deliver their services in 15-minute slots. The protesters claimed they were threatened, pushed around and touched inappropriately as they sought to make their point.
