- narag 7y agoThose guys are no contractors. There are laws with different treatment based on telling signs that a worker is an employee. I can't tell about the USA, but around here you're an employee when you work for one employer that decides the hours and other details, and provides the basic means for the job (the app in this case).
- cunac 7y agobasic means/tools -> car you set your time and drive whenever you please or not at all so in conclusion even by your test you are not employee
- thekyle 7y agoPretty sure that Uber/Lyft drivers set their own hours and many of them use many different ride sharing apps.
- narag 7y agoThe guys that deliver food have been declared covert employees recently here in lower jurisdiction. Not sure about taxi apps, there must exist a loophole at least to start. The question is you are very dependent of some party.
- pjmlp 7y agoThe are still subject to work law. If the work law in US does not protect them, that is another matter.
