Uber and Lyft threats to suspend service in California over workers may backfire
"The reality is that you can be a part-time driver and still be an employee. You can have flexibility and still be an employee," Khanna said in a phone interview Thursday. "There's no justification for not treating these drivers as employees."
While Uber and Lyft provide a way for workers to earn extra cash on their own schedule, Hatton said it doesn't afford the level of freedom many initially expect. "The cash in your pocket is not what you're actually making," said Moore, who's an activist with Rideshare Drivers United, which has pushed for Uber and Lyft to reclassify drivers.
"Employment status is not just ... about how much you pay people;" the lawyer said, according to a court transcript, "employment status has enormous regulatory regimes, state and federal, that requires all kinds of administrative things that Prop 22 does not require."where the company said reclassification "would put pressure on Uber to consolidate working hours across fewer workers in order to manage costs that are fixed per employee.
