Of course, they were expendable the whole time, that's the whole point of they aren't employee's system Uber uses, they are independent contractors; therefore they are responsible for their own work. If the company they contract with changes practices then that's just part of being an independent worker. Yes, they are used like employees but so far most places are allowing Uber to call them Independent.
