Uber, Lyft ordered by California judge to classify drivers as employees

A California Superior Court judge has granted a preliminary injunction forcing Uber and Lyft to reclassify drivers as employees. In May, California sued the ride-hailing firms, saying their decision to classify drivers as independent contractors deprived them of rights like paid sick leave. "Drivers don't want to be employees, full stop," said a Lyft spokesperson, adding it'll appeal the ruling.
