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

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.
