Always with the employee/contractor issue... It has always been my prediction that there is a legal action lurking in the shadows that will ultimately be the undoing of the ~$50B unicorn, but employee/contractor is not it (these can be resolved moving forward with jurisdiction specific revisions to driver agreements and tweaks to the actual process to ensure compliance on a jurisdictional basis). However, the legal action to ruin the company? My guess is a class action of drivers who have been arrested/criminally charged while serving as UBER drivers. Moreover, I believe such a case would open up a can of worms including: 1. UBER recruiting/paying bonuses to drivers to leave counties where ride sharing is legal to drive in counties where ride sharing is illegal, subsequently resulting in criminal charges; and 2. UBER's payment of criminal defense counsel for said drivers (which on its face may not seem problematic, but I would be willing to bet not a single lawyer paid by UBER to represent the drivers ever once advised the drivers they may have civil causes of action against UBER).
