A Lyft driver has been charged with aggravated assault, simple assault, and recklessly endangering another person in a shooting in York, Pennsylvania on June 24, 2020.

Henrietta Rice and her nieces, Rosemarie Elliot and Mae Harris, ordered a Lyft around 3 a.m. on June 24 after a family gathering.

As promised, Uber and Lyft, as well as Postmates, Instacart, and Doordash, have announced Proposition 22—also known as “Protect App-Based Drivers and Services Act.” This ballot measure will appear before California voters in the November election. Two labor advocacy groups believe the ballot, if passed, would lower workers’ wages and limit the power of legislators to institute new labor protections.

According to Bloomberg CityLab, Proposition 22 is backed by $110 million from Uber, Lyft, Postmates, Instacart, and Doordash. Those companies claim their workers want to maintain their status as independent contractors; however, the National Employment Law Project and the Partnership for Working Families believes the measure would remove existing protects that give certain gig workers full employment rights.
