Uber, DoorDash plunge on Labor Dept proposed change to gig worker classification
Gig workers are 1099&#x2F;contractors per the IRS Checklist for 1099 vs. W-2. This move by the Labor Dept is pure politics and a gift to the &#x27;organized labor&#x27; movement so gig economy workers can be corralled into labor unions for the typical political reasons (voting as a block, endorsing&#x2F;funding political campaigns, being weaponized to influence policy change)
