This is a most excellent place for technology news and articles.
Uber shaking in their boots now that they have to pay minimum wage, on top of already having a business model thay actually makes no sense and makes profitabilty impossible.
Tech bros big mad when they can't continue to exploit a workforce and have to play by the rules. "How can we disrupt if we can't cheat and steal from our workers and customers?"
Those shit acre silicon carpetbaggers can get infini-fucked.
How does this change flexibility? If you’re online to drive, you get paid. If you don’t, you won’t get paid.
Am I missing something?
My understanding is that they are only getting paid the minimum wage while they are actively servicing an order. If they are online but waiting for something to come in they don't get anything.
Thats how it works today. The article discusses a law change where they are paid hourly for just being online to accept orders. So if you are waiting for an hour, even without an order, you need to be paid
What happens if a driver chooses to be online for all 3 delivery services simultaneously? Is there some sort of SLA for deliveries per hour? Seems like it might be a pretty decent gig if not.
Good fuckin' luck trying to convince a judge or jury that a city isn't allowed to set a minimum wage.
It makes no sense that the employer can get away with referring to hypothetical payment by a 3rd party in order to fulfill his obligation obligation of employment (Time for money).
Employees have to service customer in a manner instructed by their employer, meaning that quality and service standards are set by the employer. Again, a hypothetical payment by the customer is mostly dependent on the employer.
LOL good luck with that.
It's only unflexable because the companies want endless growth. Obviously this would get in the way of endless growth. So they will push it on to the employees to keep trying to achieve endless growth. I think I'm noticing the real problem here.
