    Well unless you live in New Zealand this specific case doesn’t affect you.

    However, it doesn’t mean that you must have a schedule. Uber could choose to do that but what it does mean is that in New Zealand you could gain the same worker protections of that country, including benefits, pay, paid time off, etc. as applicable to the country’s laws, if the ruling expanded to everyone in that country instead of the 4 people that sued.

      It’s coming for me. This case represents the beginning of a cascade.

      Also, people in NZ probably have similar problems to mine.
