Unions = Uber having to pay employee benefits and similar things = Strict requirements from Uber = No way I can do it for a few hours when I want to.

- Jenk 5y agoBenefits have stipulations. Pro-rata being one of them, others are minimum hours to be applicable. Anything else?
- whitepaint 5y agoWhat counter-argument are you trying to make here? I argued unions strip the individual freedom, and your response is trying to say exactly what..?
- Jenk 5y agoThat they don't.
- whitepaint 5y agoYou just proved my point. What if I don't want benefits because they impose stipulations? What if I just want to work for a few hours on a Friday night? And I won't be able to do so because of the union. That stifles my individual freedom.
- Jenk 5y agoStipulations on being eligible (and thus "restricted") by them. I.e., in your scenario you are _not_ restricted. I've got to conclude you are deliberately misconstruing the points I've made because you have some kind of "Unions are evil" agenda to push. Otherwise how the hell did you come to the conclusion that an employment benefit that doesn't even affect your fictitious scenario is somehow a demonstration of unions are bad.
- idiotsecant 5y agoWhy does this hypothetical evil union compel you not to work a few hours on a Friday night? On a related note I've found that those who most vigorously defend the 'rights' of workers to be exploited are usually not in the position of actually benefiting from all those 'rights' that they are proposing as so vital. You know what the average uber driver wants? Some financial security. They want health insurance, not libertarian fan fiction.
