So will Airbnb renter be considered employee as well?

Google BtAs42 Sep 10, 2019

Hell yeah!!!

Airbnb dlo Sep 10, 2019

So everyone who uses a hotel would be considered as an employee too? No way!

But Uber drivers aren’t regular employees. They decide their hours, when they want to work and where.

But Uber decides prices and assigns work. Read about the ABC test before commenting

Microsoft prac Sep 10, 2019

So then Uber can then tell their drivers they are only allowed to work 4 months in a row with a mandatory 2 month break in between, will that make them contract workers then? That’s what we do to our contractors at Microsoft.

Uber Lyft should quit California and get back when this stupid bill reverted

SAP dwEC83 Sep 10, 2019

they will increase fares in CA to cover for the benefits

Google topCon Sep 11, 2019

Other states are planning to follow CA. So quit the US?

SAP dwEC83 Sep 10, 2019

if treated like employees, can drivers show up at the office and get free lunch?

Lyft YPRq52 Sep 10, 2019

They will also get piped if not meeting expectation

SAP dwEC83 Sep 11, 2019

as opposed to not piped at all like it is the case today?
