Aren't they paid via 1099 (contractor basis) and thus minimum wage is meaningless anyway?

- AlexandrB 8y agoInsane. Since the courts seem to agree that "gig" workers are contractors, it seems like we need a new labor movement to secure all the same benefits for contractors that employees get.
- redblacktree 8y agoPerhaps a nice clear line we could draw would be individuals who are treated as 1099s. This way, companies could still use it and pay their own taxes, while defacto employees would be treated similarly to W-2s.
