Yes, but I don't see the advantages for the drivers. Guilds don't have collective bargaining rights like unions to demand things like mandatory holiday pay, mandatory sickness pay, hourly pay at or above the minimum wage - all things deliveroo drivers don't currently have, but which would be massively illegal not to offer if they were legally classified as employees.
Why isn't the top comment "Contact a lawyer immediately, sue for wrongful termination." IANAL, but if you've got positive performance reviews and are being let go right after returning from work due to a medical emergency, you absolutely have a case for wrongful termination.
This varies a lot depending on the state because let me tell you, some states really suck.
If they had fired him "just because", that might be true for at-will states, but firing him for "poor performance" (if indeed that's what they put on paper) sounds like he's either not in one of those states, or HR is really bad at their jobs.
Yeah, that's about unions.
Right to work is corpo speak for businesses have all the power and can fire you at any time (most of the time)
So you think that doesn’t happen in non right to work states?
From what we're told, nobody in a "forced unionization" state can ever be fired for any reason whatsoever, and in fact rather than be fired they will be sent to a room to do nothing but sit around drinking coffee and surfing on their phone while still on the clock.
Of course it does, but what you seem to be arguing is "Oh, you want to make a law against killing people? You don't think murders will still happen?"
Nah, as we've said before, right to work is the anti-union stuff.
Yup, it's the don't ask, don't tell of firing people... local authority don't ask, employers don't tell, and everyone pretends it has nothing to do with something that's actually protected...
You're right, I swapped the two, though the states listed still suck for similar reasons.

I'm shocked.
Why would a supposed Christian ever want to play devil's advocate?
Some of the commenters on the article mentioned the church was next to the homeless shelter, and... Yep. It's literally right next door (Google Maps), so this makes zero sense. If the actual homeless shelter is just feet away, why does this church sheltering people even matter to whatever asshole reported them? "Oh noes, the church next door is letting people sleep inside rather than on the sidewalk!"
"'Well I'm sure they will NOW. Thanks a lot, Sara_2814!' says disgruntled Taco's Nachos customer."
From my experience most suburban housing developments in the US place churches right next to housing.
The neighborhoods around me were built in the 60s and there are churches inside the residential areas. They're surrounded by single-family homes.
To keep an unqualified person from becoming a Saint.
It's not funny if you explain the Catholicism.
