Taxi drivers have usually been considered independent contractors - what is different with Uber? I’m assuming it’s because Uber exercises more control over their income thru price adjustments (which taxi drivers aren’t subject to).

I think Uber drivers should be organizing for that kind of protection eg some accountability when Uber wants to drop rev share or fares.
