What you say doesn't apply to a real job. I can't have a Google laptop and Facebook laptop and work for both companies at the same time. It's a huge distinction

What you say doesn't apply to a real job. I can't have a Google laptop and Facebook laptop and work for both companies at the same time. It's a huge distinction that drivers can pick and choose what they want to do at a particular time, by having both apps open and accepting whichever ride they please, or just stop working for the day altogether.
- jeffbee 6y agoDoesn't sound like you have much experience having "a job". What you are talking about is exempt employment. There is a three-part test for exemption in California and Uber drivers don't meet any of the administrative, executive, or professional criteria. They also do not pass the salary basis test. Unless Uber wants to start paying their drivers a regular salary, Uber drivers are non-exempt. Uber drivers are not even hourly wage workers, they are paid by the piece. This is the lowest form of employment.
- SamReidHughes 6y agoNo, that's describing not being an employee, accepting contracts on a gig-by-gig basis.
- jeffbee 6y agoThe whole point of AB5 was to render your statement incorrect by law.
- SamReidHughes 6y agoAnd... the post in question wasn't reciting what AB5 says.
