Maybe I miss the main idea here, but this strikes me as more Do-Gooder stuff where they screw over the people they think they are helping.
Sort of like raising the minimum wage to $30. Would it be awesome for all the low-skill people to make decent wages?? But no one sees massive layoffs coming out of that swell idea. And in a similar fashion, it seems to me that “helping” the gig workers to be more like real employees is an idea that “sounds good” but may hurt people.
Don’t fall for their do-gooder rhetoric.
Uber drivers like setting their own schedules. Same with independent truck drivers.
When they pulled this in California, even wedding planners couldn’t operate.
This is all about unions and taxes and control.
Not think they are helping but pretend they are helping.
