You are correct.
I will say that these gig economy businesses are some of the worst companies to work for. They do not exist outside of the exploitation of their workforce. The people they depend on to even make that business model work, they depend on sucking every possible cent from. And if the law changes to force them to give some of that money to their exploited workforce, then the business will change to find a way to exploit them again. This will continue until it costs them more money to be cruel then it does to be human. The only way that happens is if drivers find other jobs, and if the rest of us stop ordering.
