Wanton worker exploitation

mercredi 16 août 2023 à 09:33

9% of employees in Britain are denied their workers' rights because the state does nothing to punish their employers for doing that.

Similar problems happen in the US, including theft of wages, denial of sick leave, and exploitation in the gig economy.

The traditional reason has been that elected politicians listen to what the employers want. However, the California referendum shows that big tech companies have the power to mobilize voters to vote to exploit these workers so that they can enjoy somewhat lower prices as customers for gig platforms.

Since some of the benefit of paying the low wages is kept by the gig platforms, the net benefit goes to the wealthy, and the people overall would be wise to support the higher wages.
