I don't see how that would improve the worker's lives in any way, shape or form. To me, this feels like insane Gilded Age practices.

I am amazed that the IRS has not already ruled that Uber drivers are employees. The argument is much stronger than it is for self-employed IT workers, and they look at those folks very closely.
