This week’s main story is about food delivery apps. How they function, why they’re not as profitable as you may think, and one thing about them that could definitely keep you from getting into heaven.

'As the number of gig workers increases, so does our responsibility to ensure that they receive the same types of rights, protections, and benefits enjoyed by other workers.' f-st.co/r37zkIs
@Mark67527701 @ianlittleworth @STYLECOUNCIL2 @thatcarr @erinnthered Funny you should mention trucking as an example. The story there is very similar to what happened in the #gigeconomy, but spread over more years. Both are examples that show why deregulation from #trickledown economics has led to rising #inequality businessinsider.com/truck-driver-s…
#ABCinPRO would extend labor rights to all Americans, not just those hired as employees. The fear campaign worked to block the #PROAct a few years ago. Hopefully the truth will prevail long term. You can’t fool people forever
NEW: Truckers used to make $100K+ per year. Now many drivers are homeless. So what happened? Trucking was deregulated — letting billionaires and big box stores like Walmart crush workers across an entire industry.
It’s our generation’s labor fight: Tech vs. humans. motherjones.com/media/2023/07/…
@VICE The #precariat often have to click long hours to make their below-minimum wage efforts work, and that has a cost on human health and longevity #prop22 #noonprop22 #futureofwork #socialcontract #fairwork npr.org/2021/05/17/997…
Court rules against Uber in major win for California workers theguardian.com/technology/202…
A US labor board ruling laid the groundwork for drivers from Uber and Lyft and other gig workers to formally unionize — a still difficult but potentially transformative task trib.al/N0VzAmF

Grubhub's co-founder thinks the gig economy model of using contractors is flawed. "Your best drivers should actually be your employees," says Mike Evans. "A hybrid model is the way to go." trib.al/nxWVox9

This is the first in our series of ‘jobs that were once great.’ Much to learn from how these jobs have been made much worse unnecessarily
@BridgetteR1744 @LALiving213 @CaliforniaLabor Independent owner-operators are the most abused, which is why #AB5 was written the way it was. For most people, #mylabormychoice means “pay me less,” and lower-paid workers need expense reimbursement to stay afloat, in trucking and the #gigeconomy
@Mark67527701 @ianlittleworth @STYLECOUNCIL2 @thatcarr @erinnthered The story of owner-operator trucking is a cautionary tale for #gigeconomy drivers, and a very similar situation. They are either too new to realize it (Uber lost 96% of its drivers in 2017), or they are subsidizing Uber with their other jobs usatoday.com/pages/interact…
By amending the Fair Labor Standards Act, or #FLSA, we can use the #ABCTest to expand #minimumwage protections to the workers who need them most: no one working 40 hours a week should live in #poverty #ABCTestFacts #nocontractorleftbehind #Protect1099s #MakeWorkPay

@AdventuresOTM @Sen_JoeManchin @BlackFreelance1 @SenatorSinema @SenAngusKing @SenMarkKelly @senrobportman @Mike_Saltsman It’s unfortunate when people don’t have the facts, or choose to ignore them. There are only 11 million contractors in alternative work arrangements. The rest of us need the labor rights on the job that the #ABCTest delivers without loopholes: bit.ly/yourNLRBrights
How many Americans have a stake in the #PROAct? All 150 million who participate in the labor force. Of those, here's more about the #freelancers who stand to benefit from increased labor rights on the job. #PROActFacts #Protect1099s #gigeconomy
Our drivers @Uber @lyft have come to the conclusion the we @_drivers_united are PAYING to work for billionaire companies no thanks to #Prop22
The #PROAct is not just about how we can #empowerworkers with labor rights. When the economy is able to recognize needs that go beyond numbers on a balance sheet, #beyondGDP, everyone benefits more in the long run. Restoring the #socialcontract is good for #business
