California Sues Uber, Lyft For Driver Wage Theft
In this file photo taken on April 16, 2020, a protestor displays a sign as Uber and Lyft drivers with Rideshare Drivers United and the Transport Workers Union of America prepare to conduct a caravan protest outside the California Labor Commissioners office amidst the coronavirus pandemic in Los Angeles, California.
The law challenges the business model of the San Francisco-based rideshare platforms and others which depend on workers taking on “gigs” as independent contractors. “This leaves workers without protections such as paid sick leave and reimbursement of drivers’ expenses, as well as overtime and minimum wages.”Uber has long argued it is merely a platform linking self-employed drivers with riders.
