> I support the contractor status (mainly due to general support of a flexible labor market)

A ride share or delivery company could offer flexible hours with part-time workers too, so flexibility is not why the delivery companies created Proposition 22. As I understand it, Proposition 22 was necessary in order to:

* Allow drivers to use their own car rather than forcing Uber to manage all the cars in their fleet.

* Avoid paying drivers when they are parked waiting for an order, which allows drivers to have multiple apps open looking for orders.
