Uber and Lyft now required to pay Massachusetts rideshare drivers $32 an hour
Drivers will get sick pay and healthcare stipends, too.

If you have a job providing transportation, then you are on-call, whether you're transporting customers or not. And you should be paid for BEING on-call. This is a standard practice in several industries.
Eh, it's not quite the same as other professions. If a sysadmin gets an after hours call, they must work it. If a ride share person is offered a fare, they can accept it or turn it down.
I think this will reflect badly on ubers driver performance score if you turn down to many short or inconvenient trips...
Possibly, but it doesn't have anything to do with being on-call.
Well now they can stop pretending they're not employees and actually treat them like employees.
