Yesterday, we wrote about the lack of social safety net for gig economy workers during this crisis. Today, Uber's CEO said this to financial analysts: "This situation certainly demonstrates the downside of attaching basic protections to W2 employment."https://www.nytimes.com/2020/03/18/technology/gig-economy-pandemic.html …
He argued that the spread of COVID-19 demonstrates why AB5, which reclassifies drivers as employees, should not exist and re-promoted Uber's "third way" of providing limited benefits to gig workers. Uber is backing a ballot measure to that effect this Nov.
"Having those workers having protections, that’s an important part of getting the economy back on its feet," Uber's CEO said. "Once everyone comes up for air and has a little room to breathe, we’re hoping to have that kind of conversation with governments."
