This, and very well written! A lot of the complaints from the article are really all easily solvable issues. I mean, really? I need to click an app for an hour to get the block? Just run a lottery. And what do you mean I have to catch people around? Change the rules so that I need to make best effort (and document it), and that's it. And give customers your own numbers so you can forward calls just during the working hours (though that makes it look even more like the workers are your employees). I won't even comment on trouble with scanning codes.

Note that while this would make job a lot more enjoyable for workers, I still think everyone should enjoy the same basic benefits, no matter what kind of employment relationship they are in. But that could also be solved in other ways (basic income for example).
