Completely. There are lots of laws already on the books but there is nobody actually enforcing them. Everyone from Uber to door dash to Amazon are profitably evading their responsibilities to their employees by miss categorizing them as contractors.

This is bad for the employees, bad for society and bad for competitor companies who are playing by the rules.

The solution is fairly obvious. Invest in bodies to proactively enforce the laws we already have.
