INSUBCONTINENT EXCLUSIVE:
Now that 2020 has started, Uber, DoorDash and Lyft are taking additional steps to undermine a new California law that would help more gig
workers qualify as full-time employees
These moves entail product changes, lawsuits and ramped-up efforts to get a ballot initiative in front of voters that would roll back the
on a route and flexible cancellations for trips in California
to restrict or eliminate opportunities for independent workers across a wide spectrum of industries, including trucking, freelance
allowed to classify drivers as independent contractors
Since much of the rationale for determining whether or not a worker is an employee comes down to control, removing upfront fares and
ditching penalties for rejecting fares could help Uber make a case that its drivers are operating on their own accord.
