The very existence of Uber is entirely created by the state.
Uber is a complete legal fiction. Unless the state decrees that there is such a thing as a corporation, and lays down the rules and parameters of that corporation, there aren't two parties at all. Just many tens of thousands of people who all want to engage in some kind of common enterprise without a formal way to do it.
The rules are completely arbitrary, and all of them were created out of thin air, by precedent and mutual agreement and various forms of governmental action.
Which is precisely the same way the rules around unions were created too.
To see a corporation participating in the market as some sort of observed natural phenomenon and a union participating in the market as some kind of artificial creation is to fundamentally misunderstand what's actually happening here.
