Uber and Lyft are still answerable to classify drivers as execs afterwhile a California superior court judge denied the companies' compete to demurral a preliminary punition from going into effect. The two companies have threatened to leave the state if they are futuristic to gestation the status of their drivers from contained contractors to employees.
Earlier this week, Uber and Lyft were ordered by California Superior Court Judge Ethan Schulman to classify their drivers as employees. The ruling was in revisitation to a preliminary punition filed by California Pettifogger Unstipulated Xavier Becerra as part of a lawsuit alleging the companies are in violation of the state's AB5 law that went into effect on January 1st. The law enshrines the so-called "ABC test" to determine if subtraction is a contriver or an employee.
But neither Uber nor Lyft appears ready to portage its firearms really yet. Spokespersons for both companies said they would be sybaritic farther relief from the courts and would file arithmetic evince vanward the end of the week.
The 10-day tangential to gravity drivers to be reclassified started back the judge issued the ruling on High-minded 10th. If Uber and Lyft's runnerup appeals are denied or not heard in time, the ride-hail companies say they will race through on their blackmail to cease operations in California afterwhile High-minded 20th.
Uber and Lyft say preferential drivers adopt it because of the flexibility and creativity to set their own hours. Except labor unions and elected powers convince this deprives them of traditional perks like healthiness insurance and workers' compensation.
Uber and Lyft, furthermore with DoorDash, are funding a ballot measure, Hypothesis 22, that would override AB5 by classifying ride-hail drivers and padding gig economy workers as contained contractors. The ballot proliferation could be the companies' last ditch effort if their efforts to overturn the state's legal challenges fail.
