Starbucks raises worker wages except if unionized

Althea said:
Any data on whether the gig drivers are better off now? They should be getting bennies from the employer. Ultimately, this will result in lower productivity. As per usual, the union threat/lobbying forced rideshare companies to offer modest benefits to drivers, which makes the argument that every worker benefits from union fights.

Of course, reading the talking points during the fight ignores the fact that using driver hour data from the pandemic era doesn't give an accurate depiction of just how many hours these drivers typically work.

No, they got absolutely ass raped.

In California under AB 5, gig workers like those that drove for Uber and Lyft found those companies turning off or limiting the hours their apps would work to avoid the need to hire full time drivers.

Assembly Bill (AB) 5 was recently signed into law in California and has had devastating effects on independent contractors and freelancers in the Golden State. Gig economy workers have been hit especially hard. AB5 replaces the common law test with the ABC test to determine whether a worker is an employee or independent contractor

Instead of helping gig workers, AB 5 killed off whole industries where gig work was the norm. Unions didn't gain membership as the gig workers were no longer employed.

Whereas I was at the other end of the gulf in Bahrain. I had a coffee cup of one sort or another in hand as I snarled about Where the fuck are my parts and why isn't this piece of shit fixed? to some minion under my rule. Or, again cup in hand, growling to the ROICC with some gratuitous profanity (Resident Officer In Charge of Construction) about the 10-page list of code violations (a mix of US and UK electrical code) I found in a building a contractor just finished.

A GOOD Chief knows how to command a combination of fear and respect up and down the chain of command...

However:

Understand that me becoming an enemy of this regime is for cause.
