minus-squareNeuromancer@lemm.eelinkfedilinkarrow-up25·2 years agoI have never done a gig job but I don’t think they really have a contract. That’s the whole problem is it’s smoke and mirrors. I’m open to gig jobs but I think they need more regulation to make sure the workers are not abused. Also suing is easier said than done. They have Billions. Uber would fight it in court since you couldn’t afford to take it there

minus-squareNeuromancer@lemm.eelinkfedilinkarrow-up7·2 years agoNot really. It’s a work for hire and not a W2 job. They’re paid 1099. We already have regulations around 1099 workers and we need more
