An interesting piece, but generalities ignore the dynamic where some get 20% time & free lunch while others get surge pricing when lucky. No amount of corporate “norm changing” is going to fix this labor market, & IMO it’s a counterproductive focus. https://www.nytimes.com/2018/08/18/opinion/technology/technology-gig-economy.htmlOpinion …
I disagree with this. While there is a general thrust around technological change and its impact on workers, institutions and culture deeply shape the terms upon which workers can negotiate or have leverage around how this change is integrated in society. https://www.theatlantic.com/business/archive/2017/10/how-to-lay-people-off/543948/ …

Furthermore, over time, as these entities accumulate more and more wealth, they influence more and more of our public institutions, how well they’re funded, how much leverage they have over the private sector on behalf of the public, etc. https://www.nytimes.com/2018/08/18/us/politics/tax-cuts-republicans-donors.html …

Debatable, but I tend to see the root problems not so much as who has money, but how we organize our democracy. Gerrymandering, for example, creates much more leverage for capital than would otherwise exist, as do our campaign finance laws, etc.

I'm not a fan of these programs that only benefit union members. These are traditionally exclusionary institutions & I'd personally prefer to see services provided by the government to all workers & oriented around their best interest, not the corporation's or the union's.
