Saying Goodbye To The Kojo Nnamdi Show
On this last episode, we look back on 23 years of joyous, difficult and always informative conversation.
The California Labor Commission ruled earlier this month that an Uber driver should be considered an employee — not an independent contractor — and compensated by the ride-sharing giant for some of her auto expenses. Uber is appealing the decision, which applies only to a single driver at this point. We explore what some say could be huge repercussions for Uber and other businesses in the so-called sharing economy.
