    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 Ubuler drivers) who are about to be screwed over.

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

    Then you don’t deserve to exist.

    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.

    “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.
