minus-square@RalphFurley@lemmy.worldlinkfedilink24•2 years agoAs someone who lives here and doesn’t drive, services like this are extremely valuable to me
minus-square@chunkystyles@sopuli.xyzlinkfedilinkEnglish8•2 years agoI get that, but they deserve to be paid a livable wage like everyone else.
minus-square@RalphFurley@lemmy.worldlinkfedilink4•2 years agoI agree and I’m happy to pay more. I just hope this doesn’t go away.
minus-square@errer@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglish-8•2 years agoWhy do these drivers get paid a 50% higher wage than minimum wage? EMT drivers don’t even get this much
minus-square@chunkystyles@sopuli.xyzlinkfedilinkEnglish15•2 years agoEVERYONE deserves a liveable wage, including the people you mentioned.
minus-squaresunzulinkfedilink3•2 years agoSounds like somebody feels entitled to another mans labour at certain prices lol
minus-square@errer@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglish0•2 years agoSounds like someone thinks a particular class of worker should make more than their peers for arbitrary reasons.
minus-squaresunzulinkfedilink2•2 years agoI think min wage should be set where a person can live without transfer payments from the state and food banks
minus-square@errer@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglish0•2 years agoCool, then Uber drivers should make minimum wage and the push should be to increase minimum wage.
minus-square@AtariDump@lemmy.worldlinkfedilink8•2 years agoYou’re right, and I’m angry too. EMT drivers should be paid more (as well as the Uber/Lyft drivers)!
minus-squareWalrusDragonOnABike [they/them]linkfedilink3•2 years agoBecause part of the time they aren’t being paid at all for their work and a good chunk of that money goes into the vehicle and fuel itself. After accounting for all the unpaid labor hours and expenses, it probably still comes out sub-minimum-wage.
