Barring the exemptions on certain industries/salary thresholds, I don't see how what these businesses do is fundamentally different than say, uber connecting you to a driver. They're distributed consultant firms, I could see an argument for Upwork et al needing to classify their freelancers as employees and cover benefits if they fit the criteria.
- username90 7y agoMain difference is that you negotiate contracts at Upwork, you don't do that in Uber. I still think that Uber should't count as employees, but that is the argument I see the proponents give.
