I think it would be crazy to all of a sudden say that all Uber drivers are employees because we would be effectively killing the business model says Hagiu. After all Uber only takes a percent commission from drivers—so the company is likely thinking of them mostly as independent contractors and giving them the lion s share of revenues in order to incentivize them. On the other hand I also don t think it s right to say that Uber is a pure marketplace and that it doesn t have any obligations. The answer is obviously in the middle. legal scholars Indonesia Mobile Number List have recently proposed an intermediate category of workers called dependent contractors with some legal protections and benefits without the full perks of employees similar to classifications in other countries such as Canada and Germany. Hagiu sees this as at least a step in the right direction short of providing a continuum of degrees of control but at least offering a pit stop on the way between full autonomy and full control. There are many degrees of control and regulations should assign them different levels of cost says Hagiu. The real debate he argues shouldn t be over whether workers in the shared economy are employees or independent contractors but about how to devise new forms that would accurately reflect their unique in between status. Political Identity and Trust by Pablo Hernandez and Dylan Minor Political polarization is an important phenomenon that has motivated many recent popular and academic articles.
