    Agreed, but historically that conversation ends in something like, “But that would limit their freedom to negotiate their contract!” which is disingenuous because dashers aren’t negotiating rates with doordash. They’d have to be organized to do that. Reelection requires funding and large companies contribute a lot more to campaign funds than individuals. That’s one of the reasons unions are so important. As you can imagine, the instant unions form on a large scale, lawmakers start dusting off antitrust laws at the behest of their funders.
