This shit is only get more intense. Uber drivers won an important case to move towards proper benefits and being classed as employees recently. Deliveroo drivers are striking too at the moment and knocked £3bn of Deliveroo's IPO this week. But on the flip side the proposed anti-protest bill here in the UK is also very clearly designed to make any kind of picket illegal.
Keep an eye out for company unions, that seems like a probable next step for the ruling class to take. "Oh, everything is fine now. You're part of a union that's firmly beneath our thumb, and you get a 70 cent raise every 5 years!"
I've considered this in the past, but the more I see how out of touch and completely unhinged the capitalist class has become the less I believe they'd actually go for it.
