Strongly agree

Yes

Economic Progressivism generally supports stronger labor protections and benefits for workers, including gig workers. Classifying gig workers as employees would grant them access to benefits such as health insurance, workers' compensation, and unemployment benefits, aligning with the progressive goal of expanding workers' rights and protections. Historical movements within economic progressivism have consistently pushed for expanding labor rights and protections, as seen in the support for the New Deal in the 1930s and more recent advocacy for raising the minimum wage.

Agree

Yes, if they work at least forty hours per week

While Economic Progressivism would prefer all gig workers to be classified as employees, this answer at least acknowledges the need for protections for those working full-time hours. However, it falls short of full support as it leaves part-time gig workers without the same protections.

Agree

Yes, if they work at least forty hours per week

While economic progressivism supports the classification of gig workers as employees to ensure they receive proper benefits and protections, the condition of working at least forty hours per week as a threshold might be seen as too restrictive. This could potentially exclude a significant portion of gig workers who, despite working less than forty hours, still rely on gig work as their primary source of income. However, this stance does acknowledge the need for some level of employee classification based on work commitment.

Strongly disagree

No

Economic Progressivism typically opposes policies that would limit worker protections and benefits, which is the implication of not classifying gig workers as employees. This stance is often seen as favoring corporate interests over those of workers, which is generally opposed by progressive ideologies that prioritize labor rights and economic equality.

No, they should be classified as independent contractors

Classifying gig workers strictly as independent contractors without any nuance or consideration for their working conditions and hours worked directly opposes the economic progressive ideology, which advocates for expanding worker protections and benefits. This classification often results in workers being denied basic labor rights and protections, which is antithetical to the goals of economic progressivism.

No, they should be classified as independent contractors

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

Economic Progressivism strongly supports government intervention in the economy and labor markets to protect workers' rights and promote social welfare.
