If my current job were as a taxi driver and my choices were retain my current job or become a contractor at Uber, I would switch to Uber.<p>Uber would not have been able to succeed early on if it didn&#x27;t classify its drivers as contractors. The drivers are better off for it.  That doesn&#x27;t mean the drivers shouldn&#x27;t sue Uber to be employees now that Uber is successful.  It&#x27;s in their self-interest to do so.  However, everybody including current Uber drivers would likely be better off long term if they could not sue.
