SUMMARY:Uber Drivers: Independent Contractors\, Employees\, or Something Else?
DESCRIPTION:Are Uber Drivers and others who provide service in the On-Demand economy entitled to the employment rights\, benefits\, and protections that other employees enjoy?  Or\, are the “gig workers” actually independent contractors\, entitled to no protection at all?  If they are employees\, they would get benefit of minimum wage and overtime laws\, protection against discrimination\, health and safety standards\, workers compensation for on-the-job injury\, and many other rights under state and federal employment laws.  Moreover\, if they are considered “employees\,” then they are entitled to the protection of the labor laws when they try to organize unions.  Some have advocated that the law create a new category for these worker\, such as “dependent contractor\,” or “independent worker?”  Others have advocated that we improve the statutory rights and protections for independent contractors.  This panel will consider these issues from a number of perspectives.
