California Labor Office ordered Uber to consider drivers as employees given the control Uber has over its drivers.
I am all about fairness and treating people generously. However, it baffles me that
California ordered Uber to consider drivers are employees. How does
Uber have control over the drivers? The drivers can schedule their work hours and quit
whenever they want.
No one forced them to drive Uber. I am perplexed how voluntary will to work for Uber
is considered Uber's control.
Some might complain Uber is the only source of income for some? Really?
Why can't you work in other jobs that may be you can be happier. There are also other
sharing economy companies. Plus, you can be entrepreneurial and start a business.
Honestly, I think the drivers are unhappy about the lower than expected Uber earning.
In such case, the drivers should complain about misleading advertisements not switching
to employees. Also, if the drivers are concerned about health insurance and benefits,
Uber can create a insurance/ benefit fund where the drivers will automatically contribute
and the those benefits can only be accessed if the driver fulfilled certain requirements.
I am always for fair and reasonably generous treatment of people but this California Labor Office ruling is quite unreasonable.
