Categorically false, the law isn’t being changed. A judge ruled that Uber was violating labor laws which specifically protect both contractors and full time employees.

The law has most definitely been changed. If the law were a human, it wouldn't be old enough to walk.

You claimed the law has not changed. This claim was false; the law has changed.

If you had wanted to discuss workers rights, you should have led with that.
