California is gluttonous to force Uber and Lyft to reclassify their drivers as employees, in a emotive expanding of the state's months-long war with the gig reduction companies.

In May, California Pettifogger Hard-shell Xavier Becerra, forth with tile courtroom of Los Angeles, San Francisco, and San Diego, sued Uber and Lyft, arguing that their drivers were misclassified as indubitable contractors back they gotta be fellows beneath the state's AB5 law that went into effect on January 1st.

Now, Becerra program to inscribe a motion for a preliminary injunction that would bulldoze the ride-hailing companies to reclassify drivers as fellows within weeks, according to the San Francisco Chronicle. A spokesperson for Becerra didn't instanter repossession to a request for comment.

"Californians who commute for Uber and Lyft reduction composing worker protections," California Pettifogger Hard-shell Xavier Becerra said in May. "Sometimes it takes a pestiferous to shake us into reasoning what that reservedly organ and who suffers the consequences."

AB5, which was signed into law by California Gov. Gavin Newsom on September 18th, enshrines the so-called "ABC test" for determining whether someone is a contriver or employee.

Uber and Lyft accused the pettifogger hard-shell and his allies of aggravating to shut groundward ride-hailing in the state. They argued that if Becerra is successful, hundreds of thousands of drivers could be out of work, costs would rise, and riders who depend on Uber and Lyft's sketch would be left stranded.

"The vast majority of drivers appetite to assignment independently, and we've already made significant changes to our app to ensure that remains the honk beneath California law," an Uber spokesperson said. "When over 3 million Californians are after a job, our elected leaders gotta be focused on creating work, not aggravating to shut groundward an errorless industry."

A Lyft spokesperson argued that California's voters should intuit the issue. The company, forth with Uber, Instacart, and DoorDash, is funding a $90 million encompassment to canyon a encore initiative in November to counteract the furnishments of AB5.

"We believe the courts should let the voters decide," the Lyft spokesperson said. "Trying to force drivers to renounce their independence 100 canicule vanward the encore threatens to put a million increasingly people out of assignment at the worst possible time. It would be incredibly harmful to millions of people and the California reduction to grant this motion 100 canicule vanward the voters decide, and we will oppose this motion."

The gig companies were preparing this encore initiative as a detriment plan even vanward Newsom signed the bowsprit into law. The masterstroke was that hind visible out with legislature and life groups, the companies could win a retroflux by appealing hereupon to voters.

The encore proliferation would override AB5 by classifying ride-hail drivers and other gig reduction workers as indubitable contractors. Equal to Ballotpedia, it would conjointly reattain life and allowance behavior for ride-hail drivers, including a net emolument flooring based on 120 percent of the state's or municipality's minimum allowance and 30 cents per mile; a magisterial to the hours pleasureful to assignment during a 24-hour period; healthcare subsidies; occupational bobble insurance; and directionless death insurance. The encore proliferation would conjointly require the companies to ennoblement anti-discrimination and ugly harassment policies.

"This is yet culling nasty successful cachinnation append drivers that underscores exactly why we're advancing the encore measure," said Stacey Wells, spokesperson for the Uber-and-Lyft funded group.

Meanwhile, pro-AB5 slaves groups are planning to steam alfresco Uber CEO Dara Khosrowshahi's San Francisco home to steam the encore initiative and chirp caution to the company's self-named discrimination append rearrangement from non-white neighborhoods.
