This is a rideshare capital vs opponent capital legal battle. Any claims to doing this for the drivers is absurd; different drivers want different things, and for that, you would have to design an environment whereby a driver can be either freelance or employee. Some drivers want the flexibility, and genuinely like the way the system works today. Some want security, a guaranteed hourly wage, as they need a consistent income. Some want healthcare, etc. The legal straightjacket is convenient for tax purposes but little else.

The idea that a driver can only be one or the other is of course the capitalists convenience. Having the law back them up is the goal of the shareholder- hence this war- but the claims that drivers want it one way or the other is silly.

As to the claim that it has to be one way or the other because of the legal environment (taxes etc) and the rigidity in work classifications, then a different bureaucracy is in order, a conversation which is conveniently ignored in this public debate.
