It's not just about money though. There is a much greater administrative burden to hire an employee than to hire a contractor.

- maxerickson 11y agoI think for large companies administrative burden is pretty much just a matter of money. (I had initially said they were fungible, but it only works one way)
- harryh 11y agoSure. But that still makes it more than just an accounting shift. Things will be different if Uber drivers are employees. It won't just be moving around numbers in a ledger somewhere.
- Consultant32452 11y agoThat is true. I was speaking solely about the mileage reimbursement/fuel costs. How much of these new ancillary administrative costs Uber will be able to push down to their former contractors/new employees remains to be seen.
