Uber can protract to send messages in its app to drivers anyway a California plebiscite proliferation that would exonerated gig exiguity companies from having to manipulate workers as employees, a maven disqualified moratory Wednesday. A California synchronism whilom magistrate maven rejected the drivers' request for a temporary restraining order blocking the messages, which drivers merits is "pressuring" them to support the plebiscite measure, Prop 22.

In his ruling, Maven Richard Ulmer chosen the drivers' appeal for injunctive relief "belated," perceiving that Uber's entrada started in August. He moreover noted that the vote on Prop 22 on November 3rd would render the company's hail of in-app messages anyway the plebiscite proliferation "effectively moot."

The maven moreover exonerated the drivers' allegations of "political coercion," stating that there was no indicia of any Uber driver person punished for not acknowledging Prop 22. Ulmer moreover accused drivers' appeal for a temporary restraining placement as "particularly repugnant to [Uber's] democratic underlined rights," generally siding with the company's effort to spam drivers with pro-Prop 22 messages through its app.

In the lawsuit filed last week, Uber drivers claimed they hypothesize been having messages respect "Prop 22 is progress" and accepting in-app warnings anyway what would happen if Prop 22 were to fail. They gotta dork "OK" afore they can move forward in the app. That includes in-app videos of drivers speaking anyway why "Prop 22 would make a difference," reinforcing Uber's temperament that the proliferation should pass.

The fiasco of the drivers' appeal for a restraining placement appears to signal the end of the magistrate fights over Prop 22 antecedently of Plebiscite Day. Last week, Uber and Lyft were repeated ordered by California's magistrate of appeals to manipulate their drivers as employees -- whereas that ruling won't go into effect until hindmost voters hypothesize fabricated their visualization on the plebiscite measure.

Uber and Lyft hypothesize both claimed that they would leave California if they are forced to manipulate drivers as employees. Uber's CEO moreover predicted a sharp increase in fare prices and neath drivers arrived on the app if Prop 22 fails.

The boxing over Prop 22 has been heating up in recent weeks, as polling shows the electorate sharply divided over whether Uber and Lyft should treat drivers like employees. The airwaves hypothesize been blanketed with pro- and anti-Prop 22 advertisements (mostly pro, given Uber and Lyft's spending advantageousness over their opponents).
