Labour and unions
From: Do Androids Dream of Electric Cars?
$1.80
Chapter nine of Do Androids Dream of Electric Cars? examines the labour and union aspects of the three revolutions in automobility as well as of public transit, and finds that carpooling apps in particular are part of a broader process to exploit workers, and that autonomous vehicles puts drivers out of work entirely. In contrast, investment in public transit offers opportunities for workers to have unionize for fair labour conditions, though public transit companies and authorities often have much work to do in this area.
