Uber doesn't meet its responsibilities as a direct employer because those responsibilities would increase their costs, like scheduling drivers for shifts. And Uber has tried in the past to prevent its drivers from working for competitors. They pick and choose, oh our drivers are independent contractors but we're also going to just take their individual tax exemptions and apply them to ourself. Come on...

Just because Uber doesn't adhere to our common social contract doesn't mean they don't have to. Unethical behavior is not justification for that same behavior.
