Why should Uber driver be considered employees but not taxi drivers driving for Yellow Cab? Pretty much all taxi drivers are independent contractors, and I don't see how they are different from Uber drivers.
- wavefunction 10y agoIt might just be due to the labor laws that define what a contractor and an employee are, and how taxi drivers and uber drivers are thus classified. You might check into those!
- didgeoridoo 10y agoYour dismissive tone is not warranted. Look into the 20-point list the IRS uses to make the W2/1099 distinction yourself, and you'll find Uber drivers as far (or further) to the "contractor" side as many yellow-car cabbies are.
- toomuchtodo 10y agoExcept Florida, New York, and California have already ruled in several cases drivers due meet the employee classification.
