Correction: a higher minimum wage should affect contractors. If the government allows companies to chronically underpay by classifying workers as contractors or any other ridiculous thing, and then only takes action by settling for pennies on the dollar, then what's the point of a minimum wage or any other disincentive? A law is only as good as its enforcement, and the Ponzi scheme that is uber only exists because we've made a collective choice not to enforce labor laws (never mind the myriad transpiration regulations).
