Why do employees, or contractors face more severe penalties (in proportion) than the company?
Uber hired these people, they should face big fines and losing business license. Hell even if they both are fine equally 100% off income for Uber drivers, and fined 100% income for the company as well.
Illegal immigration wouldn't happen if there were huge penalties against companies and or people hiring them.
- chillacy 10y agoDid Uber actually hire these people? My understanding is that Uber drivers do not enter an employee-employer relationship with Uber, at least in the US.
- afinlayson 10y agoEven if it's a company-contractor relationship it has the same implications. You can't do business illegally, or else every company wanting to do something illegal would hire contractors.
- chillacy 10y agoI see, as of october last year it looks like Uber got sued in the UK over this, and lost. It may end up having to employ the drivers.
