Well over and left are threatening to close in california because of a court order this week, a judge ruled that Rideshare Companies like uber and lyft must classify their california drivers as employees instead of independent contractors. Uber ceo says that thats financially impossible. Kron fours michelle kingston explains. I would rather see them shut down and continue to exploit people steve gregg drove for uber for almost 4 years totaling at more than 16,000 rides throughout the bay area or quit basically in a panic attack when coronavirus hit greg stop driving fearful of getting sick. He also saw this as a way out of the company one that he says was never supportive of its drivers if you cant. Some like to provide a social safety net. As these laws are designed to do for the people who are working for you whether their employees or contractors, not in the system is broken and needs to change just this week, a california judge ordered both uber and lyft to treat their california drivers as employees instead of independent contractors guaranteeing them benefits like any other fulltime employee uber says it will likely be forced to shut down operations in the state for several months if its required to do this the attorney general in city attorneys in san diego, los angeles and here in San Francisco sued the ride hailing firms arguing they were violating the law by deeming their drivers to be independent contractors both companies are under pressure to alter their Business Models in california. Well some drivers though actually prefer the flexibility of working independently. Majority of drivers are parttime they are doing 10 or 20 hours a week or less so its probably not a shocker that a lot of them kind of you know uber and lyft have its problems to have its positives and negatives that have been well documented, but i think a lot of drivers are scared about losing that flexibility to log on whenever and wherever you aunt lawyers for uber and lyft say drivers are not fundamental to the business i want to see people who were working for a living. Earning a fair wage and having a social safety net not living in fear of not having insurance not living in fear of losing their job both uber and lyft are expected to fight the ruling.
