Lets say your narrative is true.... > Many of the laws are crap anyways and due for replacement - taxi medallions being the canonical example here. Agreed. It came from a time in which kidnapping and other nefarious tactics were used. Certification and medallions were the answer to that. Their time has grown old. > And quite honestly, most Uber drivers don't want to be employees. Unsubstantiated. How about asking if they "Believe the compensation is enough to offset the risks they take as self-employed, plus license compliance and commercial driving insurance?" Having not run the numbers, I would guess that the risks and costs leave UBER drivers worse off than not working. > The only person that wants to force an employee/employer relationship on Uber are a small handful of angry drivers, and the state. Unsubstantiated. When you get into a wreck driving as UBER, and UBER tells you to lie to your vehicular insurance regarding commercial traffic, yeah, I think there's something about the anger that's justified. And a company that takes advantage of people, recommends felony insurance fraud, and blatantly flaunts lawbreaking in everyone's face, yeah. Something needs to be done.
