It seems like the fundamental situation of having a very bad boss or an exploitative industry, coded into a procedure. Soon you’ll have to spend your salarycoin at the company storeapp, and there’s no recourse or anyone to blame.
Is there a registry somewhere of all of the "Uber for" businesses there are?<p>- Clipboard: Uber for nurses<p>- Taskrabbit: Uber for random tasks<p>- Door dash: Uber for food delivery<p>- Lyft: Uber for car rides<p>I'm sure there's more.
I can see merit in such a system. I can also see that it makes it much easier for companies to act badly.<p>I also think that if you're bringing in temps there needs to be a mandated standard for providing the information they need--something that's always going to be the same in any facility.<p>And I think we need to get serious about creating/enforcing staffing ratios and put in place work hour limitations like transportation workers have.

Just a hit piece on contractors because the publication doesn't like how they can't be part of a union.<p>> Contractors have more flexibility and in some circumstances higher pay, but generally, workers classified as employees have rights to sick leave, minimum wage pay, and other benefits that contractors aren’t automatically granted.<p>Yes, that's correct. If you're a contractor, you don't get paid if you don't work. Why is minimum wage even relevant here? Traveling nurses get paid a TON of money. Again, just a hit piece on nurses that choose not to be W2.
