If anything this reinforces pseudo self employment what is really needed is a tougher definition of it which excludes many of these pseudo self employment schemes

I'll not be employing anyone ever, the drawbacks far outweigh the benefits at the level of my business model.

I suspect you will not be alone, but sadly many drivers are exploited by many taxi/PH firms and they need the safeguards that employed folks take for granted.

Our drivers have always had the option of being employees. At one time we hade at least 5 of them who were employees. We now have one. All of our other drivers prefer to be self employed.
