Re: So called Tech
I agree with you about airbnb, but another tech comparison might be booking.com
With booking.com there is no doubt that they are an online agent booking hotels for clients. As the hotels are businesses there is absolutely no doubt that the hotel staff work for the hotel and not booking.com
I feel this is the model that Uber will move to here. By changing the contracts and only using companies that "employ" drivers they will nimbly move around this ruling. Their drivers will be forced to become taxi companies that follow Uber business practices.
