Imagine if you worked for a gig-economy company that required you to cycle and you had a sprained ankle.
You'd be out of a job, with no money. Not even sick pay.
You can have all of the things you mention, and the companies that employ people can still employ them fairly.

- maxehmookau 6y agoIf paying people enough to survive means your margins are too low to function as a business, maybe what you have isn’t a business. In reality though, anyone in a corporate position is paid well and some investors are likely to do very well from an IPO. Deliveroo can pay its riders more, but makes an active decision not to.
