article in today's WSJ about the food delivery "workers" seeking "raises". They are independent contractors in their relationship to these companies, so essentially entrepreneurs. They are trying to organize like they were employees. They are trying to organize and there are lawyers helping them pro bono on the concept of "worker justice". As entrepreneurs some of them may find ways to be more efficient and make more profit. Others who are less efficient cannot make a profit so should drop out. This is different than if Uber is paying W2 wages.
i found the discussion a lot like the "NIL compensation" discussion. Ryan Day saying we need to get NIL to all the players. NIL is not about all the players, but the individual. Dr Pepper give Bryce $$$ for appearing in their ads because he has NIL value. People know who he is, therefore NIL value. The discussion in the media is about how to get ALL the players getting a "piece of the action", which leads to the players become employees. Seems very similar to the UBER "worker" argument.
This seems like a broader society issue.
