  But they can’t make a profit if they can’t exploit their workers! Won’t somebody please think of the corporations?!

    Does anybody else remember when DoorDash was supposed to be tip-free?

    For the delivery driver probably… but not for the company, and then they probably raised the minimum tip.

  I’m all for ending the exploitation of workers in this country, but I’m curious how this bill will pan out. One big part of someone doing contracted work is that they cannot be required to abide by specific work hours dictated by the company. As of now, these delivery people decide when they want to work. Will DoorDash now set specific hours for their drivers? Will drivers only get paid the hourly wage when actively on deliveries? There are a lot of details I’m curious about here

  What happens to all the people that lose their jobs due to this regulation. Are they better off?

    If a business cannot afford to pay its employees a living wage, that business does not deserve to exist.

    Considering wear and tear on their personal vehicles it’s likely a net positive.
