I think OC is pointing out that these companies are willing to provide benefits to their workers.
They're primarily fighting this because the employment-related taxes and costs are expensive.
What Uber/Lyft want is a new class of contractor that allows them to provide benefits to their workers without paying the taxes.
- PretzelFisch 7y agoI don't think Uber/Lyft want to pay for contractor's benefits. It doesn't provide any advantage to them to foot the cost of that bill. What they seem to want is a contractor they can treat as an employee in terms of time worked and tools used.
