> We’re at risk of the “gig economy” undoing over a century of hard fought gains in workers rights Consumer rights too. I've seen some really horrendous people on /r/Lyft arguing that they are well within their rights as independent contractors to refuse service to disabled people and if Lyft kicks them off the platform for it, they can sue Lyft for violating their rights as contractors. And you can replace "refuse service to disabled people" with any other form of mistreating customers, and you'll see people on /r/Lyft arguing for it and claiming that Lyft can't kick them off the platform for it. The gig economy needs to go.
