But for Uber being allowed to seize the market with their ultra low prices, which are only possible because they class their labor as contractors, there would be companies more like Uber than like taxis but that treat their employees like employees.
The problem with taxis was the medallion system and other crazy regulations.
There is a middle ground. No medallions or other protectionist measures, but you have to treat your employees like employees.
- eru 6y agoI wouldn't call that a middle ground, that would sort-of imply that your suggestion is in between the two approaches. The old system with medallions also had the drivers as independent contractors. Your suggestion would be something different from both existing approaches. Edit: no opinion implied on whether your suggestion is any good or not.
