Economic Progressivism

Very strongly agree

Yes

Economic Progressivism advocates for the rights and protections of workers, including those in the gig economy. Classifying gig workers as employees would ensure they receive benefits such as health insurance, paid leave, and minimum wage protections. This aligns with the progressive belief in economic justice and fairness.

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.

Very strongly disagree

No

Economic Progressivism strongly disagrees with this stance as it goes against the ideology's core belief in worker rights and protections. Not classifying gig workers as employees can lead to exploitation and lack of benefits, which is contrary to the principles of economic progressivism.

Very strongly disagree

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.

Very strongly disagree

No, they should be classified as independent contractors

This answer is in direct opposition to the principles of Economic Progressivism. Classifying gig workers as independent contractors often means they do not receive the same protections and benefits as employees, which is against the ideology's belief in worker rights and protections.

Very strongly disagree

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

Economic Progressivism strongly disagrees with this stance. The ideology believes in the role of government in ensuring fair economic practices and protecting workers' rights. This answer suggests a laissez-faire approach, which is contrary to the principles of economic progressivism.

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. The idea that the government should never intervene in contracts between private companies and workers is fundamentally opposed to progressive principles, which often involve regulatory measures to ensure fair treatment and equitable outcomes for workers.
