That's part of the appeal of UBI - we just accept that we are moving into a gig/freelance economy and these new jobs (and old jobs that have new conventions, like 3 day workweeks) are there to supplement UBI.
As a believer in capitalism, I see UBI as equalizing the labor side of the equation without economy-smothering alternatives like unions or excessive labor regulations.
It does by decoupling the need for a person to have a stable job. I think the effects of this would be almost as big as the shifts that happened during the Industrial Revolution. Once workers are truly free to choose their employers, we will see a massive shift in workplace norms.
