Uber loses court appeal against drivers' rights
I have a US perspective so I&#x27;m interested in why this ruling was made. If the driver doesn&#x27;t want to drive on a given day, there&#x27;s no one he has to call. There&#x27;s no approval of the time off. He just won&#x27;t get paid because he isn&#x27;t doing work.<p>In the US, one central tenant of being an employee vs a contractor is that your employer has power over your schedule, working location, and your work methods, which I see none of in Uber (which I did drive for back in 2016.) Uber drivers are allowed to drive for other groups and have other jobs.<p>So what basis was this decision made, if not &quot;they are complaining and the right thing to do is something, plus Uber=bad?&quot;
