    Tech bros big mad when they can’t continue to exploit a workforce and have to play by the rules. “How can we disrupt if we can’t cheat and steal from our workers and customers?”

    Those shit acre silicon carpetbaggers can get infini-fucked.

    How does this change flexibility? If you’re online to drive, you get paid. If you don’t, you won’t get paid.

    Am I missing something?

      From the article:

      “They shouldn’t have done this,” Mendes told Insider. “Now they’ll make us work whenever they want. Even though we’re not employees, they’re going to schedule us.

      But also from the article:

      Yet, many drivers pushed for the minimum wage, including the worker collective Los Deliveristas Unidos, who also advocated for recent laws that allow drivers to use restaurant restrooms and set delivery perimeters. One reason they advocate for higher wages is to cover the costs of gig work, such as vehicle repair, gas, tolls, and injuries. A 2022 report by the city found that delivery workers have high rates of injury while on the job.

    Good fuckin’ luck trying to convince a judge or jury that a city isn’t allowed to set a minimum wage.
