Uber – Bad Effects On The Gig Economy

by | Nov 17, 2022 | Gig Economy, NLRB, Transportation

The NLRB still wants to yank a rabbit out of a hat and make it much easier to classify gig workers as employees rather than independent contractors. This would increase wage and tax-liabilities, not only for rideshare and delivery companies like Uber and DoorDash but also companies that hire electricians, journalists, and nannies.

Analysts are now sounding the alarm on how Biden’s objective will actually harm both companies and workers by cranking up costs that lead to job losses. However, Secretary of Labor Marty J. Walsh recently declined to answer CNBC’s questions specifically regarding Uber and the morphing gig economy while arguing that immigration reform is somehow the biggest issue facing the U.S. labor market today.
