GMB Union and Deliveroo have signed an historic union recognition deal covering the company’s more than 90,000 self-employed riders.
The Voluntary Partnership Agreement will see GMB have rights to collective bargaining on pay and consultation rights on benefits and other issues, including riders’ health, safety and wellbeing.
GMB will also be able to represent individual riders who are GMB members in disputes, giving them a stronger voice.
The agreement recognises that Deliveroo riders are self-employed, following a series of UK court judgements which have confirmed this status.
Mick Rix, GMB National Officer, CEO,.
“Deliveroo was amongst the first platforms to offer riders free insurance, which we have extended to cover periods of illness and support for new parents, and we are proud to be able to build on that with this new partnership.”Petters's Polaroid files bankruptcy
Categories: Tom Petters
Polaroid Corp., is the latest entity to fall after it's owner, Tom Petters, went to jail awaiting trial on an alleged $3 billion Ponzi scheme against investors. Polaroid filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy Thursday, the Star Tribune reports.
More from the Strib:
In a statement, the company said the filing will not impact day-to-day operations nor introduction of unspecified new products in 2009.
Petters bought the Massachusetts-based company for $426 million in 2005. His business strategy was the use the Polaroid brand to sell more than cameras by placing the well-known name on plasma TVs, DVD players and memory cards.When the investigation against Petters and his company Petters Group Worldwide became public, Polaroid assured customers their business was fine despite their owners troubles.

I am running WP 3.0.1 and my gallery.xml's are being created just fine.
In fact the simpleviewer gallery worked the first time I created the gallery, but now all I get is the 'Flickr Images Not Found' error message.
I have tagged all the photos I want to appear (only 36) in my blog post, and use that tag in the gallery setup in WP.
New tags might take a while to show up in Flickr searches. Try again in a few hours.
In the meantime, you could try removing the flickrTags line to see if all your Flickr images are displayed.
As an alternative solution, you might like to try using flickrSetId instead.
But is that option only available in the Pro version?
Also - why does SimpleViewer not display the images in the order they are in Flickr?
Yes, sorry. I should have made that clear. flickrSetId is available in SimpleViewer Pro only.
With regard to the image order, perhaps these FAQs will help.
Thanks for the links. I had already organised them in the correct order, and they indeed appear in correct orded on the Flickr 'Set' page for those photos. Yet, simple viewer will still not display in that order?!!! Is there something else I need to set? Thanks again.
No. As per FAQ - General #5 (link above), the images should be sorted by date posted (unless using flickrSort option in SimpleViewer Pro).<issue_start><issue_comment>Title: Add 4.2.6 schedule

Oh you mean that thing we use to prop the door open when it gets hot? When are we getting training on this thing anyway?”
Sound familiar? Maybe you’ve purchased a shiny new cloud-based CRM system that is supposed to be easy to use, but you only got minimal training. So you’ve reverted to trusty Excel spreadsheets to manage your clients and sales pipeline. Or you’ve implemented a new accounting system to help you file those tax returns, but you can’t quite work out how to do that.
While the advent of software-as-a-service (SaaS) solutions has lowered the training requirements compared to on-premise software, that doesn’t mean that once you’ve purchased your app you want to be left alone to figure it out and make sure you’re getting the most out of it. Maybe your software vendor offers training, but it’s more like a few manuals, and some videos that are so outdated that they’re likely to be entertaining – but for all the wrong reasons.
“Training videos. Webinars. Info sessions. Manuals. Even saying those words sounds heavy, tedious, very un-fun,” says Aron Ezra, CEO of cloud-based content management portal OfferCraft. “These old modes of training aren’t just boring — they don’t work nearly as well as they need to. The modern knowledge worker is broadly curious, endlessly distracted and digitally overloaded. Training has to cater to the reality of the professional learner and compete effectively with all the other more pressing or engaging things they could be doing instead.”
Making sure both you and your staff are trained properly in using your new software is beneficial for your company. Here are six examples of companies that go above and beyond when it comes to SaaS education and training.
OfferCraft – The Game is On
OfferCraft uses gamification, advanced analytics and other tools to motivate customers and train employees. Ezra explains:
“We use trivia games, interactive contests and friendly competition — combined with dynamic rewards and advanced analytics — to create 21st Century training experiences that are fun, engaging and memorable.
“We have tested our Trivia Game against other forms of training — webinars, training videos, even in-person sessions — and the training format that leads to the greatest retention and the best results is consistently the game. People love playing games, and research shows that they retain more when they’re having fun and are engaged. Our focus groups bear this out. People love learning through our games. It’s nothing like reading a manual.”
Nutshell – Phone Support is Not Dead
According to Ahmad Aggour, marketing manager of CRM software providerNutshell, one way in which his company differentiates its training is by providing phone support, something of a novelty in today’s digital world.
“Oddly enough, SaaS companies offering phone support has become the exception rather than the rule,” says Aggour. “There are still many people who prefer to speak to someone over the phone to walk through their questions or implementation issues and so we have a support line where any user in need can be directly connected to our team.”
The company also provides an email campaign that explains key areas of the product and best practices for getting started; a series of getting started videos that new users can watch on demand, and personalized user training that is typically done through screensharing sessions delivered by a dedicated customer success manager.
“User training and proper onboarding for SaaS apps is one of the most important things to get right, and also one of the hardest,” says Aggour.
Passport – Training the Trainer
Passport, a provider of cloud-based parking and transit solutions, has developed a four-step approach to training its users, which includes a “train the trainer” step. Brandon Rivard, VP of Client Success, explains the roadmap the company uses:
“Variety of Materials – Passport augments the standard detailed documentation of Powerpoint slides and PDFs that users expect with a knowledge base – an online library of videos and dynamic FAQs aimed at functional questions from operators. This is accessed at any time through our back end Operations Management Portal.
Design that guides the user – Passport helps the client customize their views with roles, removing product features that are not relevant to that customer. The client can design a role that strips away all unnecessary tools and drive the user towards the relevant feature set. We work directly with clients through project implementation to build out the experience.
Train the trainer – For larger organizations, super-users are created by training a smaller group of individuals who can then spread the learning to the rest of the team on an ongoing basis. We conduct both webinar and telephone training, in addition to on-site training upon request.
Handoff to client success – Training is performed by the same individual who will be supporting the client in the future. This handoff familiarizes both the support individual and the client with each other and sets the stage for continued updates on new product features.”
