There are exemptions from the FLSA, including taxi cab drivers. But taxi cab companies and drivers agree to an alternate regulatory paradigm. Uber has been disruptive to law and rights because it claims its drivers are exempt from FLSA and neither uber nor contractor is not a taxi cab business.

Which are those rights granted in this agreement, and why aren't those even mentioned in pre-Uber stories describing the crappy situation of cab drivers, such as [1], which describe drivers having to pay to be allowed to work?
