"Stay With Food Delivery Riders" Survey Recruitment Update

Since the launch of "Being with Delivery Riders: "Workers Have Power" Summer Special Event - Rider Research Invitation", we have received many applications from readers, and many readers have raised some questions about the details of the event. . In this push, we summarize the representative questions from readers' letters and reply together.

In addition, we also received inquiries from the summer social practice teams of some colleges and universities, hoping to participate in this activity as a team. The purpose of launching this activity by most affairs agencies is to let more people pay attention to the labor and living environment of migrant workers, to arouse relevant awareness in the whole society, and to further turn concerns into actions, and participate in the society of public issues in the form of research. Discuss, and contribute to changing the situation of platform workers - and thus for the common well-being of "workers". Therefore, we encourage the majority of college students to form a team to sign up to participate .

We also saw some friends who signed up worry about their low level of education or inexperience. In this event, we will not use these standards to ask friends to sign up. We hope to recruit friends who are genuinely interested in platform workers or broader issues of workers’ rights and interests, have enthusiasm, and can devote enough time to Friends who have done the research carefully. Considering that some friends do not have enough experience in related fields, we specially prepared a one-week training course, and we will also provide timely help and guidance during the research process.

Q&A

Where is the pre-training location?

All our training will be conducted online, the time is the week starting on July 19, the current arrangement is afternoon or evening, a total of 5 times, each about 2 hours. You can train anywhere, as long as you have a good internet connection.

Where is the research location? What is the specific process of the research?

Although the preliminary training is carried out online, the specific survey implementation process is carried out offline. We currently do not have a pre-set research city, and we encourage everyone to conduct research in their own city or surrounding cities. During the research process, we will prepare questionnaires and interview outlines for you to use in your research. At the same time, we also encourage you to make participatory observations, but do not make specific requirements. In some cities, we will have some experienced partners for offline guidance, and where there is no partner guidance, we will organize and guide online. Discussions, exchanges and guidance during the research activities will be done online. The specific implementation method will be explained in detail on the first day of the training.

How are "partners" assigned during the research period? Is it possible for us to decide team members (to participate in the organization as a whole) at our discretion?

As mentioned earlier, we welcome participation as an organization as a whole. Because we are recruiting online, there will be friends from various cities to sign up. We encourage everyone to recruit some partners for themselves in their own city, but these partners need to sign up with us at the same time. If the registration is in the name of an organization, we would expect to know the basic information of the organization and the general status of the members.

Registration in groups

This is not the case.

Can the relevant data and information collected in this research activity be used in the school’s social practice?

OK. We will share relevant data and information collected in the research with the consent of the research partners. We not only encourage participants to apply the data collected in the activity to social practice projects in their own schools, we also encourage everyone to use these materials as a basis to write special reports from the perspectives or topics of interest to them. .

Can you provide proof of participation at the end of the survey?

meeting. We will provide an electronic version of the certificate for you to print and use; we will also attach a contact email for verification by relevant parties.

Questions about the handling of personal information during registration and participation in activities?

Neither during the registration process nor during the execution of the survey, unless otherwise stated, will we ask for your true personally identifiable information. So there is no need to worry about information security.

How to solve the problem of room and board during the research?

Because this activity is completely voluntary, we have not accepted the support from any domestic and foreign financial sources, so all expenses incurred during the research need to be borne by you, including food, clothing, housing and transportation.

Will you be responsible for the covid-19 vaccine?

Because it does not involve large-scale offline contact, we will not make regulations and treatments on vaccine injection, but please abide by the local epidemic prevention policy during the investigation and take corresponding protective measures to protect yourself and others the physical health of the participants.

Are the food delivery riders surveyed mainly female, or is it okay to be male?

The survey included both male and female delivery riders. Because there is very little research on female riders, we especially encourage surveys and interviews with female riders.
