Sure, I've heard the same thing but how a driver views their relationship with Uber is not the same thing with how the law views it.

Well yeah, if that's what Uber tells them, that's probably how they would see it.

Last month I heard a McD employee tell me: "Ohh haha, I'm not an all-out McD employee. I'm in just for the spare cash". The same employee also worked in Dairy Queen across the block.
