> I'm curious to read this argument. For all the hand wringing over Uber drivers as 1099 workers, they seem to be the very definition of contractors. They provide their own equipment, keep their own hours, NEVER have to work if they don't want to and 0 consequences for working or not working specific hours, etc. What is it about them that makes the employee like? Anyone know?
The ruling is embedded on the page.
The case law they cite:
"In addition, even though there is an absence of control over the details, an employer-employee relationship will be found if the [Defendants] retain control over the operation as a whole, the worker's duties are an integral part of the operation, and the nature of the work makes detailed control unnecessary."

- n72 11y agoI don't know about California, but increasingly exotic dancers are suing for employment rights. E.g. http://www.nytimes.com/2013/09/11/nyregion/strippers-are-protected-by-labor-laws-judge-says.html?_r=0 http://www.nytimes.com/2013/09/11/nyregion/strippers-are-pro...
- toomuchtodo 11y agoIn many first world countries, both exotic dancers and (where legal) prostitutes have employment rights.
- dragonwriter 11y agoIts frequently an issue of dispute, though some of the items cited for Uber drivers don't apply -- e.g., the Uber no-tipping rule -- so the cases are not precisely analogous.
