Work only exists in a narrow space between a consumer and a service.

And to be quite frank, not all services have a right to life.

If some employer/business can't meet the bare minimum of workers right, well, sucks to be them. Hopefully a competent competitor will pop up.

It's downright toxic that we live in a world where consumers get cheap products and services, on the backs of either rampant workers rights violations, or heavily subsidized VC-money.




But in this case you are assuming a worker wants those things. They might not need various benefits (health, etc.) as they get them via another job or a spouse.

If you look at reddit.com/r/uberdrivers, Uber mandating everyone be employees is.. controversial.
