Rideshare Drivers File Lawsuit to Overturn Prop. 22
On January 14, Uber and Lyft drivers filed a lawsuit to overturn the California ballot initiative that makes them independent contractors instead of employees. The lawsuit, filed with the California Supreme Court, alleges that Proposition 22 is unconstitutional because it limits the Legislature’s power to grant workers the right to organize. It also excludes drivers from being eligible for workers’ compensation.
