That seems like a reasonable thing to change in the law

Yeah, I would much rather see lawmakers recognize that ridesharing workers are employees, and change the law to accommodate micro-shifts, than to say that because micro-shifts go against existing law, ridesharing workers can't possibly be employees.
That said, there is certainly a good reason for minimum-length shifts and on-call payments in other industries, so I'm willing to acknowledge that striking the right balance that protects workers across the board might be difficult.
