That&#x27;s a good answer. Is this the kind of reasoning playing out in the courts?<p>As a complete aside, I think it&#x27;s somewhat bogus for Uber to describe themselves a market. They use market-like mechanisms, but ultimately they set price. The price isn&#x27;t something consumers and suppliers have input on. Drivers and consumers can decide to take or leave it. I think it&#x27;s stretching the definition to call it a market. They just gave drivers the same sort of take it or leave it option as most businesses give consumers.<p>The legal distinction between contractors and employees is legal semantics.
