It sounds like I misunderstood your objection. Are you saying that if InIn had an explicit rule like âwe pay 1â3 of the Upwork minimum wage, but we cast this as a 2:1 volunteering:working policy in order to get around their requirementsâ you would be fine with it? The idea being that minimum wages are harmful because they keep people from making mutually beneficial exchanges?
So, first, I think EA organizations should pay at least the legal minimum wage as part of a general work-within-the-law system. Here weâre talking about an Upwork policy, though, which is weaker than a law and itâs more debatable whether to violate it. But if it were just that I agree this piece of things would be much more minor. The problem is Gleb is insisting that this is not whatâs going on, and that all the unpaid work is fully voluntary. And further, that actions they take in their allegedly fully-voluntary time shouldnât be attributable at all to Gleb/âInIn.
