Uber and Lyft drivers hold placards during a protest against the ridesharing companies low wages in: A federal judge on Monday denied Uber and Postmates a temporary reprieve from California’s controversial gig worker law, a setback for both companies as they scramble to deal with the measure that could upend their business models.
U.S. District Judge Dolly Gee denied that request because, she said, the public interest in letting the law stand outweighs the potential harm it could do to the companies. The procedural decision is an early blow for gig companies who have been fighting tooth and nail to get around having to follow the law because it would change their business models and make it more expensive to operate as shareholders press them to become profitable.
