Miguel Afonso Caetano"On Facebook and Reddit, workers compared notes. Previously, they’d known what to expect from their pay because Shipt had a formula: It gave workers a base pay of $5 per delivery plus 7.5 percent of the total amount of the customer’s order through the app. That formula allowed workers to look at order amounts and choose jobs that were worth their time. But Shipt had changed the payment rules without alerting workers. When the company finally issued a press release about the change, it revealed only that the new pay algorithm paid workers based on “effort,” which included factors like the order amount, the estimated amount of time required for shopping, and the mileage driven.The company claimed this new approach was fairer to workers and that it better matched the pay to the labor required for an order. Many workers, however, just saw their paychecks dwindling. And since Shipt didn’t release detailed information about the algorithm, it was essentially a black box that the workers couldn’t see inside.The workers could have quietly accepted their fate, or sought employment elsewhere. Instead, they banded together, gathering data and forming partnerships with researchers and organizations to help them make sense of their pay data. I’m a data scientist; I was drawn into the campaign in the summer of 2020, and I proceeded to build an SMS-based tool—the Shopper Transparency Calculator—to collect and analyze the data. With the help of that tool, the organized workers and their supporters essentially audited the algorithm and found that it had given 40 percent of workers substantial pay cuts. The workers showed that it’s possible to fight back against the opaque authority of algorithms, creating transparency despite a corporation’s wishes."<a href="https://spectrum.ieee.org/shipt" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://spectrum.ieee.org/shipt</a><a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/GigWorkers" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#GigWorkers</a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/Shipt" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Shipt</a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/USA" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#USA</a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/Algorithms" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Algorithms</a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/BlackBoxes" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#BlackBoxes</a>
