    The problem is contract work is based on the assumption they are contracting out to a separate company to do their work. That company is responsible for paying its employees and doing their taxes properly. It really doesn’t fit gig work, but companies like uber have a big cost advantage by pretending it does.

      yeah honestly they should not allow non w2 contract. If someone wants to independently contract they should need to form an llc. This would cut down on the bs as gig work would have to do w2 as there is no way to make it simple for the workers to all become llc’s.
