In B.C. they are actively trying to avoid the drivers as employees model. I doubt they will be successful in that effort
They don't make any money as is paying their drivers below minimum wage with no benefits. If the drivers ever had to be classified as employees and treated as such, there isn't enough investor money to make that work. California tried, but the measure was overturned by proposition. It didn't help that the left wing CA legislature threw in a bunch of left wing pork that noone wants when they attempted to force the rideshare companies to pay livable wages.
