I don't believe that working on a assembly line is better than driving for Uber or delivering for Amazon.

  Depends very much on the assembly line. Some are quite reasonable, especially in smaller firms where you don't have a completely detached management in their ivory tower passing efficiency edicts for grinding through disposable anonymous minions. You can't abuse your staff too much if you have to sit next to them in the canteen! It's not exactly stimulating work and obviously not a rockstar salary, but it's comfortable enough indoor work and you don't have to pee in bottles and have a psychopathic delivery schedule every day.

  An assembly line still gives you a path to management, and possibly insurance / healthcare and maybe a 401k or some retirement. With gig work you get none of that.
