The RPC will legislate new federal labour standards and requirements which require gig workers to be treated equally with other worker classes, especially as it pertains to minimum wage, vacation, and other benefits.
The purpose of our economy is primarily to create and maintain the necessities for society. We are lucky enough to have surplus in our economic production which can also provide for many of our personal wishes and desires, beyond just our needs. Building a strong, resilient economy is critical to ensuring this continues to be the case.
An economy is not a playground for the ultrawealthy capitalists to extract surplus value by exploiting labourers.
