Breaking: Uber and Lyft can keep operating in California without reclassifying drivers as employees under an emergency stay granted by an appeals court
A California appeals court granted an emergency stay to Uber Technologies Inc. and Lyft Inc. Thursday, pausing a ruling that required the ride-hailing companies to reclassify their drivers as employees by Friday.
The reprieve means both companies can continue operating in the state while their appeal is considered. Both companies had said they would be forced to suspend operations in California if a stay wasn’t granted.
