You’re right except exploitation occurs as crony capitalism. “You rub my back, I’ll make your competition run through red tape”.
Nobody is forcing these workers to do ANYTHING.
Regulation would force action.
- three_seagrass 6y agoExploitation isn't limited to quid pro quo or antitrust corruption. It's easy to sit from a seat of having a salaried ~40 hour week job with health benefits and safety standards, which were fought for from past generations, and then scoff when similar people are trying to fight for the same.
- marcrosoft 6y agoThere is no exploitation when you literally tap the screen and accept the rate for a given job in real time.
- jcims 6y agoIt’s also easy to sit in that same seat and interfere with an arrangement to satisfy your own moral stance without actually being affected by the outcome. All of these Uber drivers have phones, why are they always absent in these conversations?
- three_seagrass 6y agoMaybe help me understand how having a phone means you're present in a conversation? There have been class action lawsuits filed by uber and lyft drivers.
- jcims 6y agoThis conversation has been going on for years. I rarely see Uber or Lyft drivers participating and when i do they generally just want the company to take a bit less out of the deal, that’s it.
