ChatGPT

Very strongly agree

Yes

Owenism, as an early form of socialism, strongly advocates for workers' rights and protections. Robert Owen, the founder of Owenism, believed in the fair treatment of workers and was a pioneer in improving working conditions. Therefore, Owenism would strongly agree with classifying gig workers as employees, as this would likely provide them with more rights and protections.

Strongly agree

Yes

Owenism, as an early form of socialism and cooperative movement founded by Robert Owen, emphasized the importance of fair labor practices and the well-being of workers. Classifying gig workers as employees could align with Owen's vision of providing workers with greater security, benefits, and rights, which are essential for their welfare. Owen's establishment of cooperative communities aimed at improving living and working conditions for workers suggests he would support measures that offer greater protection and benefits to workers, akin to what employment status might confer.

Agree

Yes, if they work at least forty hours per week

Owenism might somewhat agree with this statement, as it does advocate for workers' rights and protections. However, the ideology would likely argue that all gig workers, regardless of the number of hours they work, should be classified as employees and receive the same rights and protections.

Agree

Yes, if they work at least forty hours per week

While Owenism would support the classification of gig workers as employees to ensure their rights and welfare, the condition of working at least forty hours per week might be seen as too restrictive or arbitrary from an Owenist perspective. Owenism's emphasis on community welfare and support for workers suggests a preference for a more inclusive approach that does not limit protections to those meeting a specific work-hour threshold.

Strongly disagree

No

Given Owenism's focus on worker welfare and rights, it is unlikely that this ideology would support the notion of not classifying gig workers as employees. Owenism advocates for structures and systems that support the worker, and not classifying gig workers as employees could be seen as a way to deny them the rights and protections they deserve, which goes against the core principles of Owenism.

Very strongly disagree

No, they should be classified as independent contractors

Classifying gig workers strictly as independent contractors would likely be in direct opposition to Owenist principles, which advocate for the protection and welfare of workers. This classification often limits workers' access to benefits, job security, and collective bargaining rights, which are contrary to the cooperative and communal support systems Owenism aims to create. Owen's efforts to improve the conditions of workers through cooperative communities indicate a strong preference for systems that provide comprehensive support and security to workers, not the precarity often associated with independent contractor status.

Very strongly disagree

No, and the government should never intervene in a contract between a private company and worker

Owenism's foundational beliefs in cooperative societies and the welfare of the community would strongly disagree with the idea that the government should never intervene in contracts between a private company and a worker. Robert Owen himself was an advocate for social reform and believed in the necessity of creating a supportive and equitable society through various means, including government intervention if necessary. The ideology supports the idea that the government has a role in ensuring fair treatment and protection for workers, which is in direct conflict with the notion of non-intervention in private contracts.
