Like workers since the beginning of the industrial era
you're a means to an end:profit, and not for you but for the
company you toil for, be it now Uber, or Airbnb or any of
the many other examples of what activist Trebor Scholz,author
of "Uber-worked and Under Paid", calls Platform Capitalism.
There is a better alternative; it's called Platform Cooperativism,
where with your fellow-workers you own and control your
platforms, that is, your means of production and togeter ave te scope
needed to provide viable opposition. This will mean more money, of
course, but also more workplace control. As suggested
by Scholz we can take over our platforms and run them democratically,
as worker co-ops.We, at TorontotheBetter, are members of one and
can put you in contact with the Canadian Worker Coop Federation
if you want to learn more. To get some lived worker coop experience

Workers don't have to be Slaves or raw materials . Take over
your workplace and thrive better.
