I think Uber/Lyft would (mostly) look the same with a 3rd category. There's demand for flexible work + a market maker that can match supply/demand quickly. Those are the fundamentals.
If Uber/Lyft drivers aren't independent contractors, who is? If you're arguing we've overbuilt a rigid healthcare/retirement/etc. infrastructure that's insufficient for this class of worker, I'm with you, but "these people don't belong in the screwed-over class" feels a bit dodgy
A genuine independent contractor is like a plumber who comes to my house once, does a job, and never comes back. If you're working for the same company month after month for years, you're at least close to the employee/contractor line.
That's one example, but as someone who did dev/design contracting for years, it's not especially typical.
They can’t set their own prices, which is a fairly big difference from typical contractors. You can argue that they can set them by only driving when the going rate is high enough and that the monopsony (bipsony??) is the issue, but it’s still not a central case.
Oh, duopsony, duh
