Gig companies being allowed to treat their employees as contractors means:
- Income is on you
- Insurance is on you
- Equipment is on you
- Training is on you
- Safety is on you

The fact that employment protections, insurance requirements, mandatory equipment, mandatory training, mandatory safety, workers unions, liability protections, and discrimination protections even exist in law is proof that companies regularly abuse workers and must be held to strict standards under the penalty of severe punishment

Letting gig companies off the hook because they're "new" is willfully ignoring history
