My favorite quote:

>Many of our critics, ..., believe that Uber and our gig economy peers have failed drivers by treating them as contractors, and that we will do anything to avoid the cost of employee benefits like health insurance. Given our company’s history, I can understand why they think that.

Pray tell, what is this company history you're talking about? Come on, be specific. And did those policies get you the market-share you have now?
