Uber Technologies Inc. and Lyft Inc. must classify their drivers in California as employees, a state appeals court ruled Thursday, leaving the companies even more dependent on a ballot measure in the upcoming election to avoid shaking up their business model.
“We address here whether the trial court abused its discretion in granting a preliminary injunction that restrains Uber and Lyft from classifying their drivers as independent contractors,” Judge Jon B. Streeter wrote on behalf of the three-judge California Court of Appeal panel. “Seeing no legal error, we conclude the trial court acted within its discretion and accordingly affirm the order as issued.
William Gould, professor emeritus at Stanford Law School and a former chairman of the National Labor Relations Board, said Thursday he wasn’t surprised that the appeals court upheld the lower court’s ruling: “These companies have defied the law and seem to willing to do so. I think they have zero chance before the California [Supreme Court].”
Erica Mighetto, a Lyft driver and worker organizer with Rideshare Drivers United in the Bay Area and Sacramento, said she hopes the court’s decision makes a difference with voters.

That will add so much cost to the company that will be passed on directly to the consumer. Liberals are so dumb.

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!
