I work for one of the gig economy companies, my opinion is that this is a short term good thing for workers, bad thing for gig companies. But long term, this doesn't matter, as it simply reduces profitability of every company, and creates more incentives to automate, especially if unions start raising cost further.
I don't know the best long term solution is for gig workers, maybe Andrew Yang's freedom dividend will become more appealing.
- gremlinsinc 7y agoQuestion, as someone working in that field, do you think an app that's less of a company more of a collective would work? Say you pay $29.99/month to use the app + 5% per transaction + any fees for payout from stripe/etc(usually 2.9 + .30). The app itself would rank drivers AND customers. Drivers app could see customer ratings, customer app could see drivers ratings. I think for pricing maybe make it bid related and all transparent.
