The short version is;
These delivery companies created a modern slavery situation which simultaneously creates road safety and personnel safety issues.
Simple solution, ban deliveroo, just eat and ubereats outright. Delivery drivers should be employees of takeway companies. Then minimum wages can be enforced and traceability and transparency for all rights and safeguards can be seen.
Bonus is, you’re not going to get hit by an unlicensed e-moto in a city centre by some shattered forgotten body who may or may not be entitled to work.
I assumed they were saying this is a live example of survival of the fittest - the weak don’t survive and therefore the gene pool is altered. It’s exactly what the Darwin Awards are for - you get the award because you removed yourself beneficially, but it doesn’t mean they meant to offer the victims as candidates
But the issue then is equal pay for the roles, which is already protected. The pay gap phrasing is not helpful is my point, and should be made more clear that the issue is opportunity. And this is very easy to understand that organisations have to put effort into making it possible for persons with disabilities to be able to work in their organisation in roles the more able persons would be automatically able to do so.
This is irritating, not because disabled people don’t deserve fair chances, but because of the measure of the ‘pay-gap’.
This is the same issue with ‘gender pay gap’.
It does not mean that people are getting paid differently because of being disabled, or because of gender. It is a measure of how often people have the salary they have based on having jobs that get certain salaries.
Again; if they did the same job, they get paid the same. But they do different jobs and therefore get paid differently.
So the issue is, how to make more types of jobs available to disabled people, not how to pay them fairly, equal pay is already a legal right.
Old buildings had chimneys that small humans could actually crawl through. Think Victorian child slave labour. (Chimney sweep’s mate)
