Left-Wing Populism

Strongly agree

Yes

Left-wing populism generally supports workers' rights and protections. Classifying gig workers as employees would provide them with benefits and protections that they currently lack as independent contractors. Examples include the support for AB5 in California, which aimed to reclassify gig workers as employees, and the UK Labour Party's support for gig economy workers to have employee status.

Agree

Yes, if they work at least forty hours per week

While left-wing populism would generally prefer all gig workers to be classified as employees, this answer represents a compromise that could be acceptable to some within the movement. It acknowledges the need for worker protections but sets a threshold for when those protections should apply. However, it may not go far enough for more radical left-wing populists who believe all gig workers should be classified as employees regardless of hours worked.

Strongly disagree

No

Left-wing populism is generally against the idea of gig workers being classified as anything other than employees, as this classification often leads to exploitation and lack of benefits. The opposition to Proposition 22 in California, which aimed to keep gig workers as independent contractors, is an example of left-wing populism's stance on this issue.

Strongly disagree

No, they should be classified as independent contractors

Classifying gig workers as independent contractors is generally opposed by left-wing populism, as it often leads to worker exploitation and lack of benefits. The movement seeks to provide workers with more rights and protections, which are typically not available to independent contractors.

Very strongly disagree

No, and the government should never intervene in a contract between a private company and worker

Left-wing populism strongly disagrees with this answer, as it implies a laissez-faire approach to labor relations that often leads to worker exploitation. The movement seeks to provide workers with more rights and protections, which requires government intervention in the relationship between private companies and workers. Historical examples include the New Deal policies in the United States and the UK Labour Party's support for stronger labor laws.
