> How could they be an employee or three companies at once?
So by your logic i can't be employed as waiter at a restaurant and also be employed as cashier at a grocery store at the same time. Obviously i can't be scheduled for the same shift at both places, but with Uber, Sidecar, Lyft, etc your shift starts once you accept the rider and ends when you drop them off. You clearly aren't going to pick up an Uber rider while you have a Lyft rider in the car.
So what's the difference between the waiter/cashier scenario and the Uber/Lyft scenario besides shift length?
