I Am the C.E.O. of Uber. Gig Workers Deserve Better.
Gig workers want both flexibility and benefits — we support laws that could make that possible.
The Gig Economy is designed to prevent unionization. The corporation works to prevent "employees" (independent contractors) from even coordinating with each other.
Not only that, it's also designed to provide zero security to workers and maximum exploitation. It's the non-agricultural equivalent of being a migrant farm worker before the UFW.
