No. Just no. Those who consider jobs to be things that are given to someone tend to be the types that believe that the company should be able to do whatever they want.
And a free agreement between two parties really cannot be reached with such a power imbalance. How many Uber drivers are able to negotiate on the cut that Uber takes of the fares?
And no, providing a service that is in demand is not enough. Just because their service is in demand is no reason whatsoever to not comply with the law.
- ElComradio 11y agoYour first paragraph confuses me- Progressives don't tend to see jobs as being a matter of trade, but more like what people with power dole out to people without. They certainly do not view companies as being allowed to do whatever they want. Uber like any company or individual wants to get maximum value for its spend. Uber is offering $X to drivers. The drivers can opt to take $X, or to not. If enough drivers don't take $X, Uber will increase $X until enough drivers accept the pay. What is wrong with any of this? This is how YOU operate in your daily life. The law is wrong in many ways. Don't get lost in the fallacy of appeal to authority.
