That is an overly simplistic view. It's worth reading the tribunal conclusions for the case in the UK that concluded the drivers are workers. Edit- a quick example of why it's not so simple: If this is the case, all employers could say their employees are just contractors as they are free to have all the contractor freedoms however if the contractor uses them then the company is free to stop offering them work. This would skirt pretty much all employment law.
