But I do have to ask; since Lyft & Uber do provide their own services, wouldn't all Lyft and Uber drivers have to be hourly paid employees instead of independent contractors under this ruling?
It would be an utter fantasy to limit it to one physical location in this case, since their places of businesses are around the world. If they provide their own services, then neither should be able to pay people as independent contractors.

real estate is the same way. Agents are independent and file 1099s but they have to hang their license with broker under company name. I became a broker not wanting employees or an office. We have three associate agent hope this doesn’t spread.

Lyft and Uber are heavily investing in driverless cars. They cannot make money paying humans. They will soon be immune to many HR issues.

What you say makes sense - which means that as Kalifornia searches for ever more ways to soak the remaining taxpayers, it will likely turn it’s red-yellow eyes upon Uber and Lyft....
