Same. The exception list is insane. I don't see how you can look at that list and _not_ think these drivers belong there as well. On top of this, most drivers I talked to were voting for it, and despite some cries about brainwashing by the companies via their apps, I'd imagine they do still have their own best interests in mind.
- rmrfstar 6y agoI'm assuming the drivers you talked to were working when you talked to them. Do you think that maybe, just maybe, they might be scared to be honest with you under those circumstances?

- thatswrong0 6y agoUmm... why would they be scared? It's not like I was being aggressive about - I was just curious, and I was already casually chatting with them.
- rmrfstar 6y agoHere are two important facts about the world: 1. Poor people cannot miss a paycheck. Getting fired means not paying rent, not eating, or not repairing the car you depend on for your livelihood. 2. Bosses spy on employees. This country has a rather nasty history of labor spies, and that tradition is undergoing an unfortunate revival. Poor people seem to know more about that history than comfortable-but-not-rich people. Not sure why.
- bhl 6y agoThe difference in my opinion is with gig workers, there’s a contrasting concentration of power in the hands of a few companies, and those companies play a substantial intermediating role in matching “contractors” with customers. From the exemption list, is there any that rival the likes of Uber or Lyft?
