James Farrar is the Founder & Director of Worker Info Exchange (WIE). After leaving a career in tech James became in activist for worker rights in the gig economy. He was the a claimant in the landmark worker rights case against Uber recently decided in favour of workers by the UK Supreme Court. James founded Worker Info Exchange having realized that surveillance and hidden unfair algorithmic management would be the next stage in the battle for worker rights in the gig economy.
