> Sure, some of these might be really nice. But I think one of the biggest changes we’d see, if gig workers organized well enough, is some system to block new entrants in order to artificially restrict the supply of gig workers. We already have an example of such a system that predates the internet-driven gig economy: taxi medallions. But of course, we all know how that turned out!
Lets apply the same system to your job then?
Anyone can decide that they're now working your job. You can compete with them for tasks and whoever completes them will be the one to get paid.
Artificially restricting the supply of your job is obviously limiting the economic capabilities of the business. Just think how many more hours could be worked!
