Yes, it's better to make contractual relationships more complicated so that people are not able to decide how to sell their employable hours.

- gtf21 6y agoThis isn't really about that though: the debate in the UK has been around the fact that Uber constrains its "contractors" as though they were employees, while not affording them the rights employees would normally have. They have all the disadvantages and none of the advantages of employment. I realise some might argue that there are some advantages of looser employment for those workers, and that may be the case, but we have employment law for a reason, and it's to protect workers from abusive practices.
