True, there have been crappy pizza delivery jobs for long, long time now. It's likely an industry worth billions of dollars, and has been for decades as you state.
But, to my knowledge, no one has gone after Pizza Hut and the like for creating that underclass. (If people have gone after them then I was honestly unaware of it.)
- cameronbrown 7y agoPizza Hut weren't operating at this unimaginable scale.
- bilbo0s 7y agoMaybe? But the pizza delivery industry as a whole was operating at the same unimaginable scale. And still does today.
- malandrew 7y agoIf conditions are basically the same, why does scale make it something we should care about now?
- phil248 7y agoThe service industry has been operating at a much larger scale for decades now with all of the same bad labor practices and no one cared. The service industry invented ways to pay below minimum wage (tip exemptions, age exemptions), push costs on to employees (buy your own uniform), and make their lives subject to the whims of business needs (randomly changing schedules, cut shifts, etc). None of this is new.
- RandallBrown 7y agoYes it was/is. Pizza Hut and Dominos both have revenue in the billions of dollars per year. Does DoorDash?
