it seems they ARE hourly workers for the purposes of this law, which makes sense: they're allegedly contractors because they can choose their hours.
if a driver wants to work the 8:00 to 9:00 hour, the delivery app can either:
1. pay them at least the minimum wage for that hour, and assign enough work to fill it, or
2. pay them at least the minimum wage for that hour, and NOT assign enough work to fill it, or
3. don't pay them for that hour, meaning you aren't letting them work that hour, meaning you're determining their hours, meaning they're employees, not contractors
whether [app X] has enough orders to keep occupied all the willing drivers with open [app X] is [app X]'s problem: [app X] choose the business model of unrestricted driver growth
