California lawmakers pass landmark bill that threatens to reshape how companies like Uber and Lyft do business — but Uber says its drivers shouldn't be affected.
Additionally, the bill has received broad support from Democratic presidential candidates including Sens. Elizabeth Warren, D-Mass., Bernie Sanders, I-Vt., and Kamala Harris, D-Calif., as well as South Bend, Indiana, Mayor Pete Buttigieg.
Lyft spokesperson Adrian Durbin said the bill has the potential to hurt drivers who prefer a flexible work schedule. A DoorDash spokesperson said the company was disappointed by the decision, but said it was “committed” to establishing a guaranteed minimum wage, benefits and other protections for its gig workers.
