Uber says drivers aren’t core to its business, won’t classify them as employees

> “Drivers would not be able to choose when to sign on anytime they want it,” he said. “They would work in shifts like every other employee works in shifts."... > Experts have said there is nothing in federal or state law that precludes Uber from offering its drivers the same flexibility as employees as they have now as contractors.

I wonder if it grates on the soul to spew propaganda on behalf of Uber of all things.

Let's not forget that this is a company that was built by violating the law in cities across the country. It's not surprising they wouldn't be squeamish about flaunting it now.

Given all of the layoffs that company have just conducted- who is core to their business?
