Sorry I meant no one is forcing them to work for Lyft/Uber. Everyone who decided to work for Lyft and Uber because it made their life better. Would they have made that same choice if they had a trust fund that met all their basic needs? Probably not.

Yes I'm using anecdotes from talking with Uber drivers, which isn't as good as a study. But it is better than what you are doing which is speculating. Have you had the experience that almost all of your Uber drivers were hoping for full time employment, with a boss, and working on a set schedule?
This bill will completely change what a job looks like for Uber and Lyft. People choose to work for Uber and Lyft for the flexibility that accommodates different life circumstances not for the pay. This bill will destroy that flexibility, it will improve the lives of a small % of Uber and Lyft's drivers who want to work full time and get benefits from Lyft and Uber. But this will worsen the lives of everyone who works there precisely because of the flexibility.
