I hope laws adapt and that exploitation doesn't hurt those most vulnerable ... but I will call-out ideologues who have made attacking the gig economy a cause and their livelihood.
but realise that there a significant proportion of workers who are not.
I'd love to know what percentage of regular workers through the Deliveroo app are unhappy. I wonder which of us would be surprised. Pareto's principle comes to mind.
Hah rantypants, this from the person who ended their post with "Can Marxists and their lawyers please just fuck off?"
Too verbose? Ok, just 'fuck off'. It does the same ;-)

Wanting holidays, sick pay and minimum wage is not "Marxist"? It's you know, normal stuff that the government has decided is the bare minimum that any job should include.
I agree... in some sense... that there are people who treat Deliveroo like regular employment when that's not what it is. If you want regular hours you need a proper job, not this. And insurance for loss of earnings is a nice step on Deliveroo's part. Would we have got it without these union people? No.

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.
