Probably exactly that. Those places have minimum wage laws for gig workers.
replyI have no idea but when reading the article my mind immediately went to businesses having dashers take photos of competing businesses as some type of weird crowdsourced corporate espionage.
replyThose jurisdictions stifle innovation. Thankfully, the vast majority of the US does not do that. Door Dashers in 99% of the US will now have a button to click that will put more money in their pockets. Very good!
replyPretty sure Task rabbit operates in said jurisdictions, so it's not that.
replyInnovation in what exactly?
replyIt's right there in the article. An innovative idea in the field of distributed labor, enabled by technology is being launched in the 99% of the US that allows ideas to be tried freely. I'm happy to see it!
replyPiecemeal labor! Shift work! SRO’s! Unlicensed taxis!
replyI can't imagine what these innovators will come up with next.
