If gig workers are slaves, then we must conclude that slavery isn't that bad. Nobody is forcing people to sign up to drive for these companies, and if they don't like it, then they can choose to drop out by tapping on their screen to indicate that they're out of service.
- maxehmookau 6y ago> Nobody is forcing people to sign up to drive for these companies No single person, sure. But the inceasing lack of secure, reliable income sources remove most other choices. "gig" work should not be the norm. It should (and always used to) be the job that the teenager does (delivering newspapers, etc) or someone does for a bit of extra cash. But they're becoming pervasive, normalized and this should be rejected.
