they can't set their rates. that's a huge part of being a contractor.

  They can. Refusing to take some rides that they do not deem profitable is the same as "negotiating their rate". If anything, they probably have a lot more power regarding compensation than if they were employees, all earning the same (definitely shitty) salary.

    That's just refusing work at a given rate. A contractor can say "I used to charge $300/hr; I now charge $400/hr because $REASONS." definitely agree on the drivers having more flex than employees, at least superficially. employees could always quit, though the mechanics of quitting are heavier for employers than terming a contractor are.

    You’ve taken a narrow interpretation. Drivers have zero ability to set their rate.
