comment in that thread by James

Half the team were employees in every legal definition of what makes an employee (they deducted and punished "independent contractors" which you can only do with employees" - as the case was with Uber and they settled) but were categorized as "Independent Contractors" until April, they were forced to sign new contracts saying they employees but were under "probation" for another 3 months, so until the end of June. They planned this from the beginning, so they didn't have to have a lawsuit when they did this and say "hey you signed a contract" .... forced signed, they changed the pay structure in May without a change in contract either. These employees only got 2 weeks, despite being a week and a half away from passing probation.

Does anyone know if this is true, because this is really poor behavior.
