Is the employee/independent contractor dichotomy adequate to capture the legal essence of all working relationships or – particularly in the case of “on-demand” or “gig economy” workers—is a more refined set of distinctions needed? For example, a middle-ground category of “independent workers” has been proposed that would enjoy some, but not all, of the legal protections available to employees. Does that sound like a good idea? Why or why not? (See Seth D. Harris and Alan B. Krueger. “Is Your Uber Driver an Employee or an Independent Contractor?” Perspectives on Work 20 [2016], 30-33, 80.)
