In a way where it actually makes sense for uber to hire them? If someone can sit in their house and push a button to start being paid their full rate, and doesn't have to actually do anything for the company during that time...
They can't just limit hires, which already hurts the flexibility, they would have to limit shifts to different amounts based on the time of day, which would basically kill the idea of spontaneously working whenever you want.
That’s a good point. There will be some flexibility removed. It isn’t as dire as Uber / Lyft claim where you can’t have a day job anymore, but in order to pay drivers minimum wage, they may have to limit driver supply some at certain hours.
