      Uber and Lyft say they will shut down their California operations if a new law goes into effect overnight that would force both companies to classify their drivers as employees. They're hoping a court blocks the law.http://apne.ws/cTlIB52

      UPDATE: An appeals court has allowed ride-hailing giants Uber and Lyft to continue treating their California drivers as independent contractors while a court fight over a new state law continues. Both companies had threatened to shut down Friday.http://apne.ws/eaa8fcF

          So the companies would abandon one of the largest markets for their service and that’s supposed to be a threat to California? I think they have it backwards.

          And yet, somehow, the 3rd richest in USA.

          God I don’t know what I’d do in Ca. without Uber. Driving there for me would be like Trump being re-elected. The scariest shit I’ve ever done.

          Use a taxi... Nothing like shutting down a new business to support an aging one that should die just because the older one has better entrenched lobbyists and provides more $$ to gov't through medallion sales.

          I guess this is good for the business and the riders. But the courts shouldn't bow to threats, they should render the law. The drivers have rights, too.
