Gig companies warn of collapse if forced to pay decent wage.

Then you don’t deserve to exist, simple as that. The confederate slavers of the US used the exact same argument against black suffrage, as did the European colonizers before them.

then fucking collapse!

everyone will be better off for it.

“Assassins warn industry may collapse if murder made illegal.”

If something is bad or harmful, it doesn’t matter whether getting rid of it will destroy the industry.

It’s worth noting the shitty government has legislation in play that will overturn this, basically that says if your contract says you’re a contractor not an employee then you are. Which is a terrible future for all low wage workers (including Uber drivers) who are about to be screwed over.

We have gig drivers here, like a regional Uber setup. Drivers skim 70% off the top and pay the rest into the company. It’s breaking even, and drivers are making double Uber money.

I have no sympathy for Uber as I see this competitor winning drivers and rides by just not being dinks.

I worked a few door dash shifts for about a week and earned $48, I work at a bar as a dishwasher now and make $18 an hour. If dishwashers are getting better compensation then delivery drivers, they need a union
