It would benefit them in the sense that they wouldn't have to pay someone for an hour where he does nothing. Why do your job give you a schedule? > This is not like if a contracted a builder to renovate my kitchen. I don't know for where you live, but here in Quebec you would usually contract a general contractor for that. Would that means that guy is now employing people and he should pay them benefits too and pay their taxes for them? Uber is between you and the contractor, sure, but he is still a contractor, he is contracted for a single job (taking you to your destination) and the amount paid cover that job. The contractor is free to decide when, where and for how much he works.
