Well unless you live in New Zealand this specific case doesn’t affect you.
However, it doesn’t mean that you must have a schedule. Uber could choose to do that but what it does mean is that in New Zealand you could gain the same worker protections of that country, including benefits, pay, paid time off, etc. as applicable to the country’s laws, if the ruling expanded to everyone in that country instead of the 4 people that sued.
Noooooo!
I’m an Uber driver and I chose this job because I want to be an independent contractor.
Being an employee means I get a boss and a schedule. I’ve looked into this.
I wish these busybodies would just go get a regular job and stop trying to fuck with my chosen job.

It’s coming for me. This case represents the beginning of a cascade.
Also, people in NZ probably have similar problems to mine.
Do you intentionally take the most contrarian position possible for any given topic???
No, but I do tend to speak up only when I disagree, because I abhor echo chambers.
