The Amazon Driver Is a Reverse Centaur

The next generation of labor exploitation merges chickenization with reverse centaurs. Dordash and other gig companies use aps to script the movements and conduct of independent contractors, while hiding their true wages from them until theyve finish their jobs. It's easy for businesses to play workers off against each other to pay lower wages. Labor market outcomes are not a matter of individuals bargaining with one another. In a labor market atomized, workers bargain with consolidated firms.
