Vikrum Aiyer, the former VP of public policy at on-demand platform Postmates, wrote in a post on Medium that companies in the space must create flexible, on-demand work that is sustainable and inclusive as well as move to employ workers for the long term. And on-demand companies must also work with government as a partner.
“We must end this uncivil war that pits workers against capital, tech against labor unions, conservative versus liberal,” Aiyer wrote. “Lasting generational change that delivers economic justice and upward mobility for workers in this country is rooted in an understanding that we’re better off if we work with each other, not against.”
