I would go further and say that it's more than just a murky area. It's an area in which settled law is incomplete. I think that most people can agree that an Uber driver is kind of like an employee but also kind of like a contractor. Trying to force them into one bucket or another is almost silly.

Practically speaking though a great many people would see that as a rollback of worker protections so I'd be shocked to see a change in that direction.
