>"It’s time to move beyond this false choice. As a start, all gig economy companies need to pay for benefits, should be more honest about the reality of the work and must strengthen the rights and voice of workers. So why doesn't CEO Dara Khosrowshahi lead by example and start paying benefits for Uber drivers immediately instead of writing an Op-Ed about it? Why not actually implement the benefits program and then write an Op Ed about why you did it? >"I’m proposing that gig economy companies be required to establish benefits funds which give workers cash that they can use for the benefits they want, like health insurance or paid time off. Independent workers in any state that passes this law could take money out for every hour of work they put in. All gig companies would be required to participate, so that workers can build up benefits even if they switch between apps." Again you're the CEO Dara Khosrowshahi. Why not be a leader and lead by example? Start the fund for your Uber drivers and use that as your inflection point and build consensus based on some action you actually took. >"Had this been the law in all 50 states, Uber would have contributed $655 million to benefits funds last year alone." This is patently absurd. Rephrased - "had we been forced to do the thing that I believe is the right thing this would have been the outcome"
