> I pessimistically assume, however, is that assuming the A/B fight is a lost battle for gig economy companies, the next step is to limit these employees to being part-time with some kind of <20 hours per week or something rule.
How does 20 hrs/week factor in here? I didn't see a reference in the Bloomberg article. Though this is actually a good point — if time spent working isn't a factor, then someone who works for Uber, Lyft, Grubhub, and Google Express could end up as en employee of all of these companies. That seems like kind of a weird result.
I mentioned that since hours worked is normally a big distinction between a "full time" employee and "part time" employee for traditional roles, which have different employment costs -- It's not mentioned in the article
