Christ, the repeated conversation of 21st century late-stage-capitalism tech companies:
“We’ve got a serious labor problem!”
“Hmm, how about we make our workers into contractors. Then it’s no longer our problem.”
I wonder if that’s why I keep seeing Amazon deliveries being done from rental trucks like U-Hauls…
One could argue that what they’re doing is more unfair precisely because of their size (and ability to pay). And the other companies have as a defense that their whole (ostensible) purpose is to just be scheduling/payment system middlemen for workers; Amazon doesn’t have that excuse - they’re just looking to reduce costs.
