"She dominated the meeting"
Isn't this the role of the committee chair at committee meetings?
Hannah Kreig âŚ. Destroyer of jobs. Also HannaâŚ. Everyone should be paid the same. The people with college degrees should make the same as someone working at McDonaldâs.
Sara Nelson sucks.
It's spelled "Tsimerman."
Go get your own fucking burrito.
Itâs hard to feel sympathy for anyone involved in this.
Fuck DoorDash, UberEats, etc for their greed and sleazy tactics.
But also, what @3 said to the poor beleaguered customers - get off your lazy ass and get your own burrito, or grow the fuck up and learn how to cook.
Some sympathy perhaps for the workers, but still - how realistic is it to expect to earn a living wage as a low-skilled, app-based gig-worker? Prior generations of teen-aged pizza-delivery drivers figured this out by the time they graduated high school.
@4, I made pretty good money as a teenage pizza delivery driver, for the exact reasons this repeal should not happen. 1) there was a minimum wage and 2) orders were not handed out based on corporate profit goals. Oh yeah, also the company and I kept the money instead of handing over a share to a third-party glorified dispatcher.
I guess the delivery drivers I talked to who wanted it repealed didn't count in your eyes. You guys at this rag are not reading the tea leaves. Sara is doing what most of us constituents want. I used to be a card carrying progressive but I bailed because it's become a mentally vacant lot. I want reform as well but without a plan and just tearing stuff down, you are no better than the neocons who couldn't think past what we would do after invading Iraq. Different issues for sure, but the act first, think later mentality is the same.
@6 "I want reform as well but without a plan and just tearing stuff down, you are no better than the neocons"
Who is this directed at, because this whole article is about Nelson et al tearing down a law without a plan to ensure the real problem (app driven costs) is solved. But it seems like you support that move so I'm confused
