Uber wants you to believe that the cost of paying drivers as employees is that you won’t be able to get a car in most places. This can’t be true. Uber replaced a poorly run system that actually covered most places and employed it’s labor force. If Uber and other car services were forced to recognize their workforce as employees, there would be market incentives to support doing so. Uber mentions the subsidized cost of their health plan. This is very creatively failing to mention that the American taxpayers pay this difference. Your ride may seem cheap, but you pay for it in your tax bill. Maybe Uber thinks PR pieces like this one will convince us not to regulate them. I hope we’re not that slow.
