Good, hopefully people are realising how exploitative a lot of these platforms are. We need new laws that require gig employees to get sick/accident pay and net pay at minimum wage or above.
- manarth 10y agoIn the UK, there have been a few cases (Uber, Hermes, City Sprint) where "gig economy workers" were declared to be employees rather than independent contractors, and therefore entitled to all the usual benefits. Hopefully that spreads wider.
