I don't know anything about the formal structure of working as an Uber driver, but could Uber make the argument that their drivers work for the passengers and that Uber merely facilitates the connecting of drivers to passengers?
- striking 11y agoI think Canada's revenue service wanted to obtain evidence that money went through Uber from consumers to employees. If it were possible to pay any Uber rider directly (perhaps with a separate payment to Uber) then Canada couldn't call Uber drivers "employees." But they are, really. Uber processes the transaction and skims some off the top while passing on the rest to a driver. So Uber drivers are employees in Canada (or will be soon, at any rate)
