> One of the great things about DD is one can do it in their down time. I agree: if people want to work in the gig-economy on a part-time or "side-hustle"-basis, then of course they should. But I also think that if people would prefer to work in gig-economy as their full-time job then they shouldn't be screwed-over either. I do recognize that being a "full-time gig-economy worker" working 12+ hours a day can, in-practice, mean working 3-4 hours/day for each of 3-4 completely separate companies, and on that basis I don't believe there's currently a workable way
(in the US, at least) to require any single gig-company (like Uber or DoorDash, etc) to extend FTE benefits like that, but this a new paradigm (is it really that new though?) that needs to be written into employment law with a solution that works well for everybody: it's demonstrable that the greater-society loses when more people don't have decent health-insurance coverage or childcare or even good ol' fashioned time-off. |
