  • While we're at it let's scrap council housing, the NHS and state education right? In fact let's get children back down the mines... Or you know maybe we could aim to support workers rights and improve pay and conditions?

    Deliveroo et al are not just a tech company, they're a service company and just because their business model necessitates riders/drivers are self employed it doesn't mean that it's actually legal or a valid business model.

    also popcorn.gif because someone much more intelligent and eloquent than me will come forth in short order I suspect

    Ok rantypants. Have you worked through Deliveroo? Did you feel unduly ‘exploited’?

    You realise the primary way to improve conditions is just to run the business the best it can be?

  • Hah rantypants, this from the person who ended their post with "Can Marxists and their lawyers please just fuck off?"

    No I've not worked for them, I aware that you have and if you're happy with the treatment that's great but realise that there a significant proportion of workers who are not and are seeking to challenge the business model on a legal basis. It is neither for you or I to say what will be decided though we're both entitled to our own views on the subject however at odds they may be.

    I don't realise and vehemently disagree that the primary way to improve conditions is just run the business the best it can be. That sounds like words straight from the mouth of a free market capitalist (not strictly intended to be a slur), and utterly naive. In terms of business model it exists to create money, not jobs, not deliver people their take away meal, and it will seek to do that as efficiently as possible which is inherently at odds with providing people good working conditions.
