California court weighs fate of law treating app-based drivers as contractors
(Reuters) -Judges on California's top court on Tuesday considered whether voters had the power to allow app-based services such as Uber and Lyft to classify drivers in the state as independent contractors rather than as employees with greater benefits. The seven-member California Supreme Court heard oral arguments in San Francisco in a lawsuit by the Service Employees International Union (SEIU) and four drivers who say a 2020 ballot measure known as Proposition 22 was unconstitutional. The measure exempts app-based drivers from a 2019 state law that narrowed the circumstances in which many workers can be treated as contractors.
