Naissance de la Fédération transnationale des coursiers (FTC)« Transnational Federation of Courriers » (TFC) - Gresea

La Fédération transnationale des coursiers (FTC) est née le vendredi 26 octobre 2018 : un nouveau mouvement social européen initié par les travailleur.e.s de plateformes de livraison de repas chauds telles que Deliveroo, Foodora, Ubereats, Glovo, Stuart. Le bébé pèse tout de même vingt collectifs et syndicats nationaux, tous acteurs de la lutte ! Précoce, son premier cri a été : transparence des données et salaire minimum horaire pour tou.te.s les coursier.e.s[[Ces deux mots d’ordre font partie des nombreuses revendications communes répertoriées dans une charte transnationale pour le secteur, à publier prochainement. Les priorités seront à définir au fur et à mesure !

La toute nouvelle structure est issue de l’Assemblée générale européenne des livreur.e.s intitulée « Riders4rights » organisée par le réseau AlterSummit [1] les 25 et 26 octobre à Bruxelles. Soixante livreur.e.s, représentants des collectifs nationaux et/ou syndicats issus de treize pays [2] se sont rassemblés sur ces deux journées ainsi qu’une vingtaine de représentants d’organisations syndicales, ayant statut d’observateurs sur la première session.

Bien qu’atomisés par les plateformes, les collectifs de livreur.e.s ont réussi le tour de force d’unir leurs multiples luttes locales en une lutte à l’échelle européenne. La démarche de l’AlterSummit est simple : puisque les plateformes qui ont créé ces nouvelles formes de sous-emploi et de travail à la demande sont des entreprises multinationales, la seule riposte possible est bien celle d’une mobilisation transnationale. L’assemblée a permis deux moments essentiels : un échange entre les collectifs sur leurs expériences nationales respectives en matière de formes d’organisations, de luttes, et de revendications, suivi d’un passage à une charte de revendications communes. Une première action a eu lieu le 26 octobre en soirée pour fêter la naissance de la FTC : une manifestation à vélo des participants rejoignant la masse critique [3]. La nouvelle née prévoit, pour la suite, une série d’actions nationales simultanées dans plusieurs pays.

La FTC pose ainsi une pierre importante sur le long chemin de la construction d’un mouvement social européen que Pierre Bourdieu appelait déjà de ses vœux il y a 20 ans [4].

On-demand home cleaning service Kisafi launches in Kenya
▻https://disrupt-africa.com/2016/04/on-demand-home-cleaning-service-kisafi-launches-in-kenya

https://disrupt-africa.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/Kisafi.jpg

On-demand home cleaning and laundry service Kisafi has launched in Nairobi, Kenya, aiming to bring consumers convenience at the click of a button and spread across the region.

Kisafi – the name means “it is clean” in Swahili – allows homeowners to use the web or an Android app to have their laundry picked up and taken care of or their homes cleaned.

The platform has been in private beta since December but launched to the general public on Nairobi today, with launches in Tanzania, Uganda and Rwanda to follow before a rollout in West Africa at a later date.

Complete with a founding team with backgrounds at McKinsey & Co, Citigroup and Accenture, Kisafi has a quality control and assurance centre with modern commercial cleaning equipment in Nairobi, and offers a marketplace of former and current hospitality and hotel employees.

It has signed partnerships with two of the top laundry and dry cleaning service providers in Nairobi, and also has a tech-enablement suite, including body cameras for the recording of the cleaning process and a high-grade photo filing system for before and after wash clothing pictures.

Co-founder Janet Otieno said Kisafi was trying to make premium laundry and home cleaning a utility that is available to everyone, and save people time.

“Given the rate of growth of the emerging affluent and middle class across Sub-Saharan Africa, coupled with the fast pace of work and life, every minute spent on chores counts,” she said.

“We asked folks that were part of our closed beta why they love the service, and unanimously it was at least two things – ease and affordability.”

Kisafi – which has seed investment from angels in Lagos and New York – said it was aiming to take a significant portion of emerging affluent market, and has a pan-African focus.

“This is reflected in our team composition. Our founding and advisory team is made up of folks from Kenya, Nigeria and South Africa,” Otieno said.

Des marchés aux esclaves sur Instagram et autres applications | Slate.fr

Sur l’écran du smartphone, les photos défilent par milliers : des portraits de femmes, la plupart originaires de pays d’Afrique (Guinée, Ghana, Éthiopie, Soudan…) ou d’Asie (Philippines, Népal, Inde…), répertoriées par ethnies, avec un prix affiché : elles sont disponibles à l’achat, pour quelques milliers d’euros.

Le commerce illégal de travailleuses domestiques, qui fonctionne comme un réseau de trafic d’êtres humains, prospère tranquillement sur les applications mobiles. Sur Instagram par exemple, propriété de Facebook, on peut trouver des publications boostées par certains hashtags, proposant d’acheter une femme et ses services domestiques –la négociation aura tout simplement lieu par message privé.

D’autres applications, comme 4Sale ou Haraj, approuvées et disponibles sur Google Play et l’App Store d’Apple, proposent des offres similaires.
Marché aux esclaves

« Ce qu’ils font, c’est promouvoir un marché aux esclaves en ligne », alerte Urmila Bhoola, rapporteuse spéciale de l’ONU sur les formes contemporaines d’esclavage. « Si Google, Apple, Facebook ou toute autre société héberge des applications comme celles-ci, elles doivent être tenues pour responsables », ajoute-t-elle.

Spotify, The Apple App Store & Why PWAs Rule
▻https://love2dev.com/pwa/spotify-apple-appstore

Comment Apple décourage au maximum le développement des PWAs...
...et pourquoi c’est un combat d’arrière-garde perdu d’avance !
(et avant tout une histoire de GROS sous)

The more I discuss the merits of progressive web applications over native apps with clients and potential clients I have formulated a simple way to determine if you should develop and ship a mobile app:
“Does your app help sell iPhones or generate significant store revenue for Apple?”
If your answer is yes then you should think about developing an app. Otherwise a progressive web app is probably your better choice.

We also know that consumers are tired of mobile apps. Today no one downloads apps anymore. Sure there are app downloads, but by and large the fad has ended. Most app downloads are to new phones, ‘restoring’ a user’s existing apps.
[...]
Right now there are many large brands taking that journey. Uber, Lyft, Twitter and others are in the process of moving to a progressive web app solution. Most have PWAs with feature parity to their native apps. They typically have moved to a PWA as the client code base and use a hybrid wrapper like Cordova to put the solution in the store.

Blocking updates is another major aspect of Spotify’s complaints. I know they are not alone, I talk to app owners all the time that express frustration with long update cycles and rejections. It is a trail of frustration for many.
On the web, you find a bug, fix it and deploy an update as fast as you can. That could literally be a couple of minutes to just under an hour if you have your ducks in a row, and it is not a major bug of course.
I know some sites update 1500 or more times a day. Try that with your native app.
[...]
Good luck doing that with Apple in the way. Developers I speak with tell me they expect 2-4 weeks before bug deployments are actually released in the store.

Have you ever wondered about all those #apps on AppStore and Google Play store, all the time people gave into making each one of them and still most of us don’t use more than 5 to 10 most important apps (okay, I’m not counting all those Voodoo studio games)?In March 2018 Google has had more than 3,6 million apps on their store alone.

It is the first point of every new product. “Hey, I have a very nice new idea”, “Hey I know how to solve that problem”.The second one is a pillar of knowledge.

Living with PTSD can be very challenging for veterans trying to integrate back into civilian life. As part of dealing with battle experiences, about 20 percent of veterans end up abusing drugs or alcohol after they return home, according to the U.S. Department of Veteran Affairs.They state that PTSD affects roughly 33 percent of soldiers. The symptoms of PTSD are difficult to live with and can include depression, difficulty sleeping, isolation, aggression, irritation, fear, and self-destructive behaviors. Veterans use alcohol and drugs to lessen the symptoms, but such dependency inevitably makes things worse.The VA also reports that 20 veterans suffering from PTSD take their lives every day.

When it comes to performance these days, it’s not uncommon to hear the term “JAMstack”. JAMstack stands for JavaScript, APIs, and Markup. The idea being to create static markup with JavaScript that is powered by communicating with APIs.The reason this stack has become so popular is because it allows websites or apps to be bundled up and served at “the edge” via a CDN. Couple this with what is ideally a performant app that is talking to performant APIs and you get a speedy user experience.GatsbyJS is a great solution for creating markup with JavaScript, but what about the APIs part and serving your site to the world?
