They could just stop driving for uber if they wanted, I don't why they need politicians to force uber out to do it.
yep, because if you don't like that workplace doesn't provide benefits for you can just quit.

Being a driver for Uber or Lyft is hardly a career.

Triangle Shirtwaist workers <i>want</i> fewer unlocked doors! Let them work!
