You're going to need a decent definition of exploitation or better word if you want to make any Headway with people.

Some people claim that every employer is exploiting their workers

It is a separate but related issue then the law-breaking. They need to be discussed separately.

Most people recognize that there are bad laws that should be broken, and bad laws that should be changed.

If Uber broke a bad law, the most important solution is to fix the law. If Uber broke a good law, the most important solution is to stop them.

We have some good employment laws that Uber is skirting by classifying their employees as "independent contractors".

As someone who always wanted to be an independent contractor but can't, I especially don't like those laws.

I think the most charitable interpretation of them is legal duct tape over other bad laws. The most obvious examples are tax laws and incentives that tie Healthcare to employers.
