Oh man, is there like, a big group of people for whom this distinction matters? If so I am not prepared to explain. Are you able to explain this difference in my place, pjc50?

Um, given there's been multiple court cases about that, yes apparently there is a big group of people for whom that distinction matters...

I was alluding to the way that Uber specifically calls its drivers not employees, although they do work for Uber. The drivers do not have stock options and may have a different opinion of Kalanick.
