Scenario

When business partners disagree about participating in gig economy labor practices

My business partner wants to hire people as contractors to keep costs down but I think we should hire employees with benefits even though it might kill our margins and we're stuck because we both see the moral problems with the gig economy but we're also trying to survive in it. Neither of us wants to be exploitative but we also can't afford to be saints.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

Two people are confronting the moral complexity of trying to build an ethical business within economic structures that seem to demand exploitation.
