They should either treat their drivers like FT employees, pivot to a new (legal) service, or shut down entirely (and disband the company). If they can't treat their drivers decently and follow the law, they shouldn't exist.

Are you arguing that there should be no such thing as a part-time employee? Either work 40 hours per week with full benefits or stay home? That seems... weird.
