But please, do turn this into a “personal issue”, and ignore the facts.

Again, this “minimum wage causes unemployment” fantasy. This is just nonsense meant to justify poverty wages.

It is hard to find a negative effect on employment effect of rises in the minimum wage: the elusive employment effect. It is much easier to find an impact on wage.

Flexibility is only useful if you already make a decent wage and don’t have a megacorporation constantly trying to steal your wages and avoid local regulation so it can shit on your rights. Otherwise it’s just an euphemism for being a treated like a disposable cog.

Cool, I’m sure when your job becomes a gig you will enjoy the extra “flexibility”. I have this very radical idea that people doing something that other people need, for a large portion of their available working hours, should have economic security.

About cab companies, not really. Often times they operate as a cartel. But they do have better working conditions for drivers and less precariousness
