    That’s why you can expect Uber to appeal, and the same Supreme Court that backed up big business and closed the courthouse door to workers in the Walmart case might get a shot to do that for Uber. However, the rank stupidity of their argument – that everyone’s a contractor but nobody’s the same – might be too much even for the Roberts Court.

C'mon. Nothing is too much for the Roberts Court. See also.

I hope that the courts have the stones to back up the NLRB on the subject of contractors. Fuck Uber, but also fuck all the many, many other companies, tech, fast food, etc, who treat their employees the same way.
