They're striking for higher wages, I doubt any of them care about the specific work.
If a company is unable to pay their employees a livable wage they shouldn't exist. And IMO the "gig economy" takes away the bargaining power of workers, these companies exist purely as middlemen to extract profit on transactions. They're leeches on society, just another solution looking for a made up problem.
The programmers and customer service people? Probably not, those are valuable skills though and those people won't have a hard time finding work.
If you mean drivers, they don't employee any drivers. They have a lot of 1099 contractors that aren't fairly compensated.
The price of everything is increasing and none of the profits are going to low wage employees. If I'm going to pay $20 for a Value Meal I'd rather it go to the cook or the delivery driver but it doesn't, the fees go to the corporations in charge. The best, most effective way for me to protest is by not using their services.
Yeah the article is a bit strange. They call them environmental protesters but they seem to have been protesting food insecurity. Which I guess can be considered environmental but isn't usually what I think of.
Fuckin' right, we never should've let these assholes rebrand themselves as "boomers" when their parents nailed it. The Me Generation always was self-absorbed and ignorant of the world. Born on third thinking they hit home runs.
No no, you don't understand, everything is an ADHD thing. Nobody has traits or idiosyncrasies, everything is merely a reflection of their unique psyche and not experienced by other people.
Grass hates moles.
