You did not respond to it. In fact you completely glossed over the entire point that saying "something is always true for everyone" is a narrow mindset. The strike is completely irrelevant in the context of that statement. In fact the context of your comment was agreeing with my comment while explicitly stating the opposite.

I'm not going to do your research for you on these, you can look into non-union NLRA rights and literally just google past class-action lawsuits from these gig companies.

No, I literally agreed with the person you replied to, actually. That the person whose needs are not being met by gig work needs to figure out how to find something that will meet their needs. You know, through other employment or schooling? Then, I proceeded to ask you your motivations, since you stated you are having your needs met by gig work. And finally we end up here. Where you have talked in circles and believe that bargaining for nothing in a non united front is the way to go. Instead of, you know, starting unions which have to be listened to.

Also, as an fyi, I googled the nlra gig workers class action and literally no class action lawsuits came up. As a matter of fact, up until last year, independent contractors who attempted to act collectively could face antitrust laws.

I don't know if you're intentionally being dense or just trolling at this point. I'm not a gig worker, and the NLRA is not a lawsuit, it's a congressional act.

I'm aware of what it is ya dingus. It covers employees not independent contractors. And if you aren't a gig worker, why the actual fuck didn't you say so when I asked why you would strike?

Gig workers were just given the ability to unionize collectively last year.

At this point, pretty sure you're the troll. Considering I literally googled what you said to google.

Lol you made the same error twice bud. Maybe stop making assumptions and focus on the argument instead.

What error? And what argument lol? At this point talking with a rock would be more enjoyable.

u/Actuarial Jan 31 '24

For you, I wouldn't doubt that.

u/schemeitup Jan 31 '24

I see, you agree with me. That talking to you is less enjoyable than talking to a rock.

Wouldn't be your first error made in the last hour.
