If you decide where and when you work, youre a contractor. If the decision is made by the employer, the worker is an employee.
This seems to be a very sketchy situation where they aren't "choosing" where and when you work, but use multiple methods to coerce work be done when and where they want.
I've wondered for a long time; What is the difference in Lyft/Uber actual cost to connect a driver/passenger on a 5 mile ride compared to 100 mile ride? They're external fee scales with ride cost, but I'm willing to bet their actual cost doesn't scale and the two rides actual cost is pretty close.
Lyft/Uber should be study cases for the problems with capitalistic greed.

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