The case emerged after California implemented a law, known as AB5, aimed at reclassifying ride-hail, food delivery and other app-based workers as employees entitled to benefits such as unemployment insurance and minimum wage.
I agree w them
This dies the Republican vision of an independent contractor slave economy.
This is a side hustle job ( Lyft Uber)and not a career. What is California doing?🤔
This is all moot when both companies become autonomous and need no drivers
They have teams of experts ready to come up with an alternative plan(s). They can’t just pack and go, they do all it takes to stay w current business model tho. CA is one of their biggest target, if it becomes a law in CA, will most likely and gradually be everywhere else too
This is BS. This is a voluntary arrangement.
Welp, so much for cheap rides.
Uber & Lyft drivers are not 'consultants', 'free agents' or 'business owners' -- there is no other business than Uber of Lyft business. Drivers cannot exist as business without Uber or Lyft and Uber & Lyft cannot exist without the drivers. That means that drivers are employees.
Here’s an idea: take some of uberlyft’s highly-paid talented staff and task them with creating a substantive plan for phasing in the appropriate changes. Don’t dodge, don’t look for loopholes, don’t leave the state, don’t invest more in challenges. Be business people and adapt.

Uber and Lyft must reclassify drivers as employees, appeals court findsA California appeals court says Uber and Lyft must reclassify their drivers as employees rather than independent contractors, affirming an earlier court decision. But November's election could make this process moot. HERE IS THE TONY BOBULINSKI PRESS CONFERENCE THAT WOULDN'T COVER BECAUSE THEY ARE BIASED LIARS: Uber/Lyft are in courts all over the world fighting this same argument. If the claim they will pull out of Cali for this, they will have to pull out of 15 other nations (although most are smaller in then Cali) All they had to do is wait for 1 of said companies to make a profit. Then they can call them greedy and ask for better pay. No profit yet!
