I would disagree with the assertion that they do things only an employer can do ( which I understand means I am firmly wrong in the sight of UK law ), I would rather Uber can set additional rules in exchange for additional flexibility for the contractor. What I see in this ruling is that the "solution" seems to be make the contractors employees instead of give the contractors liberty to self direct more.

If Uber wrote a new contract, with greater autonomy and less direction for its drivers, it's quite possible that it would be upheld as genuine self-employment; the ruling covers the workers' current arrangements. So that route is feasible if Uber is willing to cede its control. I think that somewhat unlikely.
