> Uber on the other hand dispatches 100% of the work to their drivers This is flatly false. Uber publishes available fares in real time, drivers choose to accept them or not. This is the entire premise of Uber. You might as well say that radio cabs "dispatch work to drivers", but it's exactly the same publish-subscribe model: central publishes an available fare, drivers compete to respond quickly accepting the fare based on their willingness and also their proximity, (the latter of which is judged by central). The acceptance rates are a red herring: Uber says "if you're rarely going to accept a fare while you have the app in a state saying you're generally available, I'm not interested in listing you as potentially available to customers". I don't see how this creates a control-of-work-time, control-of-work-undertaken, control-of-hours-worked, or control-of-work-place relationship, which are the bases of the IRS classification. Uber lets drivers choose when, where, how-much, and how-often they work... and they're totally fine with how-often being once-a-month. Uber is also fine with you working 3 other jobs that overlap in hours with the time you might allocate to Uber (i.e. no control-of-exclusivity). The thing they won't let you do is: frequently list yourself as available, then repeatedly decline nearby available fares -- and yet still expect to be listed as generally available while you have the app open saying your'e generally available. Shut off the app when your'e not generally available within your geo proximity, and the acceptance rate problem goes away entirely.
