On Tuesday, Seattle’s city council passed legisation that would protect gig workers from being suddenly kicked off apps like Instacart or DoorDash. It’s the first gig worker protection measure of its kind in the entire country.
‘Right to work’ has to do with not being required to be in a Union in order to get a job (ie, you have a right to work at a location whether you’re in the union or not).
Right to work is bullshit and definitely helped in gutting the unions, but, I’m not sure how that has to do with anything to do with gig workers at all.
It doesn’t; this guy is just unaware of what ‘right to work’ means (admittedly, it’s a deliberately obtuse name), and seems to have no willingness to entertain the possibility that he might not know something.
Do a quick Google search for “right to work vs at will employment” because you’ve got them mixed up.
Additionally, the gig folks don’t have a contract that protects them and they’re being classified as contractors when (it’s being argued) they shouldn’t be. That’s literally the issue.
