Trapped in Gig Work: How Middle-Class Stability Disappeared | UK Jobs Crisis Explained

2025-07-09 9 Dailymotion

🚨 THE MIDDLE CLASS IS DISAPPEARING. HERE’S WHY.

In today’s Britain, the idea of a stable job, a pension, and a comfortable life is no longer a guarantee — it’s a rarity. In this eye-opening documentary, we uncover how millions of working professionals, freelancers, graduates, and even skilled workers have been pushed into the uncertain world of the gig economy, zero-hours contracts, and short-term freelance work.

🎥 This isn’t just an economic story — it’s a human one. One that affects YOU, your future, your family, and the entire fabric of middle-class society.

🔍 WHAT THIS VIDEO COVERS:
✅ The collapse of secure, full-time employment across the UK and Europe
✅ The rise of gig platforms like Uber, Deliveroo, Fiverr and TaskRabbit
✅ Why pensions, sick pay and paid holidays are becoming things of the past
✅ How this new economy is fuelling anxiety, burnout, and financial instability
✅ The role of government policy, globalisation, and corporate lobbying
✅ First-hand stories from gig workers and freelancers living on the edge
✅ What major voices like The Guardian, BBC, and The Financial Times are reporting
✅ What politicians like Keir Starmer, Rishi Sunak, and Frances O’Grady (TUC) are saying — and doing — about it
✅ Ideas and solutions: Can we fix the system with UBI, stronger labour laws, or union action?

🧠 WHY THIS MATTERS TO YOU:
Are you constantly juggling freelance gigs or part-time jobs just to survive?

Do you feel like you work harder than ever, but can’t afford to save?

Are your job benefits — pensions, maternity leave, sick pay — just a distant dream?

You are not alone. And this isn’t your fault.

⚠️ This video breaks down the entire system — so you can finally understand what's going wrong and what must change.
