    It does, but the thinking here is that the dasher basically loses money taking no tip orders. Which in my Nordic mind is a fucked up business model. A living wage should be the minimum requirement.

      It’s worse. They aren’t employees. They are independent contractors who in many cases assume all liability and have to pay their own payroll taxes. Most aren’t reporting it to their insurance company, much less thinking about retirement and healthcare. It only really works as a temporary side gig.

        Under EU-Law you might not fall under independent contractor because most of the income and how you do your job is dictated by a single company.
        You automatically fall under regulations for employers and get those protections too. Company that try to do this have to tread very carefully not to fall into that.

          I was speaking for Americans. Companies like Door Dash are practically experiments in avoiding labor laws .

      Look at the socialist over here guys, over here in America we let our children go without lunch if they can’t afford it. How else will they learn that they need to be a productive member of society?
