Judge Orders: Uber And Lyft Drivers Are Employees, Not Independent Contractors
Uber and Lyft will have to stop classifying their drivers as independent workers.
A California judge ruled Uber and Lyft must classify them as employees. The order will take effect in ten days unless it is appealed. Uber has already said it is taking steps to do so.
This is part of an ongoing lawsuit against the rideshare companies, which didn’t have to offer benefits such as sick time or health insurance to their drivers because they were not employees.
The companies are appealing the ruling and the judgement is on hold while they do.
