You've obviously never owned a franchise business like MacDonald's. You OWN the restaurant but must follow MacDonald's rules. An Uber driver OWNS their business but must follow Uber's guidelines. An employee is NEVER independent, even if they get some benefits. Face it; many people don't want to be "employees". They LIKE the freedom. That should not be taken away from them. You want employees so bad, start a taxi company and hire by the hour with full benefits. No one will stop you. But leave other people alone. Please.
You tell me what is wrong with the following new CA law definition of an independent contractor:
'Under the bill, workers will only be considered independent contractors if their employer can prove three things. First, the employer must prove that the worker is not under “the control and direction of the hiring entity in connection with the performance of the work, both under the contract for the performance of the work and in fact.” Second, the employer must also prove that the worker “performs work that is outside the usual course of the hiring entity’s business.” Finally, the employer must prove that “[t]he person is customarily engaged in an independently established trade, occupation, or business of the same nature as that involved in the work performed.” '
Drivers committed to being on-the-job full-time know they're getting screwed. Stop the scam, please.
