California sues Uber, Lyft over misclassifying drivers as contractors

The meat of the article is in the second of last paragraph:

> Becerra also referred to Uber’s and Lyft’s push to include its drivers in a federal coronavirus relief bill for unemployment benefits. Those benefits are generally reserved for workers whose employers pay into the unemployment insurance system, which Uber and Lyft do not.

Instacart should be watching this closely as there’s going to be a lot of idle shoppers who haven’t paid unemployment insurance as the economy opens up and the populace goes back to in person shopping.

And the flagellation of Uber, Lyft continues I wonder if this is the straw that will eventually break the proverbial camels back and lead to the demise of ride share apps in the short term
