Please re-read my post and you'll see that I wasn't defending the article. In point of fact, I merely highlighted the fact that you said this article's evidence doesn't hold up, and then immediately said, "There is no way I’ll believe most drivers want to be employees."
That sounds like you would refuse to believe any other data, always and forever, if it contradicted your personal belief. Before anyone else might be able to chime in with other sources that may be more concrete, you have shut that down entirely. Your mind's made up, and that is that.
I actually have evidence on my side. The Uber driver surveys conducted by an independent firm state that near 70% of ride share drivers prefer to remain independent.
If a survey comes out that contradicts that, I'd have to review my stance, but for now, I'm skeptical.
