When California legislated to treat gig workers as employees, the gig-work companies spent enormous sums to mislead the public into override that decision. Now they are preparing to do it again in Massachusetts.

These companies mistreat passengers as well as drivers. The food delivery companies mistreat restaurants, too.

It would be great if making them pay decent money made those companies disappear, but I don't expect that to happen. I think they are exaggerating for effect.
