California court tells Uber, Lyft to classify drivers as employees | Malay Mail

The order came Monday when a judge granted a restraining order in a lawsuit filed by California attorney general Xavier Becerra and three cities including San Francisco, where Lyft and Uber are based. “While this fight still has a long way to go, we're pushing ahead to make sure the people of California get the workplace protections they deserve.”

Uber has argued that most of its drivers want to remain independent even if they also are looking for benefits.“Misclassification hurts drivers and it puts the burden on taxpayers to pay for benefits that Uber and Lyft should be providing,” said San Francisco city attorney Dennis Herrera.
