CA Rideshare Drivers Can Continue to Be Independent Contractors

Rideshare drivers can legally continue to be independent contractors. The California Supreme Court ruled on Thursday to uphold Proposition 22.  Voters approved the ballot measure that allowed Uber and Lyft drivers to continue to be classified as contractors rather than employees. A lower court had ruled Prop 22 was illegal, saying app-based drivers were entitled to benefits like health insurance and sick leave.
