I will go one step further and say that in the developed nations, we need to abolish the concept of "contractors" at least in obvious cases where the contractors make minimum wage or even less for working fulltime jobs. From my experience in most of the cases, companies (regardless of the country) use this window to circumvent employment regulation & protections.

It is a joke to think that a poor Uber driver has any power to negotiate their "contract" with Uber to drive 14 hours per day for them.
