Aha. OK. Yeah, there are famous downsides to trade unions, but I think we can give them the ole college try again, and not repeat earlier issues. I'm super ok

I'm super ok with unionizing gig workers. I really hate the exploitation that's going on.
- malandrew 10y agoThe unionization efforts in Seattle are demonstrative. They are very clearly gearing up to push forward policies that benefit full-time drivers at the expense of part-time drivers. Proposed rules exclude new drivers from voting and exclude drivers from voting if they haven't completed enough trips in any three month period in the last 12 months. Rules like these will only advantage the full-time drivers at the expense of part-time drivers. http://media.wix.com/ugd/af6c5f_9b35175f4fe741cabc9a17ad0161eac7.pdf http://media.wix.com/ugd/af6c5f_9b35175f4fe741cabc9a17ad0161...
- pnathan 10y agoGiven that the exploitation is going to primarily be exploiting full-time people... I think on balance, I'm OK with this. It's also the case that the proposed rules will limit any underhanded vote packing by certain companies.
