It does, but the thinking here is that the dasher basically loses money taking no tip orders. Which in my Nordic mind is a fucked up business model. A living wage should be the minimum requirement.

Look at the socialist over here guys, over here in America we let our children go without lunch if they can't afford it. How else will they learn that they need to be a productive member of society?

Frankly, I wouldn't want to live under some authoritarian healthcare system that no longer allowed me the freedom to weigh my options between crippling debt and death... Variety is the spice of life!

That's the true freedom we get to have. I hear in the UK and Canada they sometimes have to wait in line! Here I get prompt care with my hundreds of thousands of dollars I pay. Now that's service.

Don't have to wait in line if you can't afford to go in the first place

God bless America

That's right, and the poor grades and stunted growth they'll experience as a result of that hunger will build character.

It’s worse. They aren’t employees. They are independent contractors who in many cases assume all liability and have to pay their own payroll taxes. Most aren’t reporting it to their insurance company, much less thinking about retirement and healthcare. It only really works as a temporary side gig.

Under EU-Law you might not fall under independent contractor because most of the income and how you do your job is dictated by a single company.
You automatically fall under regulations for employers and get those protections too. Company that try to do this have to tread very carefully not to fall into that.

I was speaking for Americans. Companies like Door Dash are practically experiments in avoiding labor laws .

[-] ignotum@lemmy.world 16 points 11 months ago

Get a minimum amount of compensation for doing a job? Do you hear yourself? That's madness!

[-] scarabic@lemmy.world 2 points 11 months ago

A fine idea. Sadly, no one in that restaurant is being paid a living wage. It ain’t just the drivers.
