Chinese authorities have called for gig workers to be treated with kindness after videos of a delivery rider kneeling before a security guard led to protests by dozens of riders.
Guards stopped the rider from leaving a building in Hangzhou on Monday - saying he damaged railings while scaling them during a rushed delivery.
Worried that his subsequent deliveries would be delayed, the rider got on his knees and pleaded to be let go, the city’s police said in a statement.
The incident sparked outrage online, with many urging better protections for workers in the industry.
You’re trying really hard to argue here…
Not just that person. A whole lot of people, perhaps astroturfers, unhappy right now.
The only thing I’m trying is to understand why you immediately think of Tienanmen Square in 1989 when seeing this story. Other than it taking place in China, I really don’t see a link. There’s no need to get defensive about it, just be honest.
You’re being defensive. You took some rando’s comments personally and sought to correct their thought crime.
“Thought crime”? A little dramatic, don’t you think?
A glance at this thread shows that you’re the dramatic one. Get a grip and stop whining.
You’re welcome to your delusional interpretation.
LOL and there you go with that extreme way of thinking again.
