Don't companies not pay taxes for gig workers to get unemployment?
Is there going to be any change to that?
Is there going to be any change to that?
This legislation doesn't change that, but it likely pulls some of those gig workers out of the system, as they might collect more on unemployment than working limited gig work available. TBD if this puts supply pressures on platforms.
Personal opinion: The stimulus is generous enough it's going to cause gig platforms to bleed out, as the stimulus is directed at the workers, not at the platforms. Bird is already performing mass layoffs. [1]
Which I'm happy that we are doing, these are real persons after all, but then we must necessarily dismantle them afterwards to make sure it doesn't repeat.
