If so if uber was forced to employ all of their workers how else would to expect it to work than that?

Certainly your ability to reject jobs or even to select the time you want to work would be severely limited (but let’s ignore that..)

They're not his employer so they shouldn't penalize him. If you're truly a gig worker, why are you being penalized for not accepting some job? How does that make sense?

If they were employing him, penalizing him for declining work would be fine.

Is Uber penalizing him? No.

Any company which would have to directly employ him would certainly penalize him for not accepting work and would not allow him to start his shift whenever he wanted.

That other app he’s using seems to be somewhere in between gig and normal work (so you seem to get the worst from both worlds).

Which seems like a huge downside?

Ummm.... it could be a job with a flexible schedule. I don't understand why that's so hard to set up.
