(California) Judge rules Uber, Lyft must classify drivers as employees

A California judge on Monday ruled that Uber and Lyft must classify their drivers as full employees rather than independent contractors, a ruling that if upheld could represent a significant loss for the ride-sharing giants.
The San Francisco Superior Court judge is giving the companies a ten-day window to file appeals before the injunction takes effect, and spokespeople for both told The Hill they will be doing so.
The case forcing Uber and Lyft to comply with AB 5, a landmark law requiring companies to classify their workers as full employees if the firm has control over how they perform tasks or if the tasks are a routine part of the company's core business, was brought by California Attorney General Xavier Becerra and a group of city attorneys.
