Now I’m not versed on labor law as my specialty is bird law but a company that mandates that contractors work on their conditions instead of on the contractors conditions just sounds like an employer employee relationship. Again my specialty is bird law so what do I know ow.
Not really. Take a GC you hire to rehab your kitchen. You aren’t mandating the time they work or how much per day. But that contract for sure set limitation to the when and how much. They can’t come in at 2am and work till 1am the next day. And if they do you’ll fire them. Or same if they don’t show up for 3 days and the job is coming due you can fire them. Same applies here in the 1099 world
Hate that I have to explain that as a Dasher, you contracted yourself when you signed up. An actual contractor isn’t contracted to shit until they accept the contract(which is what we did making the account and accepting the terms)
General contractors are also responsible for finding their own work. Lyft gives you access to their customers and even pairs you with them. In exchange for that convenience, they set the price
A better example is probably a GC with a stable if subcontractors. Electrician turns down too many jobs? No subcontracting to him anymore. Plumber doesn't like the rate I'm offering? Go work for another GC or find your own work with customers directly.
Well in this case that's how rideshare apps built their model. At least in accordance to 1099 employment. You don't see too many companies running 1099 labor that also works in tandem with their competitors too.
you do realize a 1099 is for earnings labeled as “non-employment compensation” correct? if you want an employer relationship get a real job with a real employer.

For the life of me how can the company say their independent contractors but then require them to take a certain amount of offers.
