Yeah I don't know about that, boss. I've been working since I was 16. Needed to support myself because my parents sure wouldn't.
But I also made an attempt to take union jobs that give me benefits like health insurance and retirement.
Gig workers are fucked. They don't get benefits. They don't even get treated like employees. They don't have a union. The only real money they're earning is mostly from tips. It's a shitty job that exploits people desperate to make some money.
Did you just call someone a "blanket"?
