Uber lost its attempt to overturn a California law requiring employment rights for drivers and delivery workers, which may have broader implications pending a related case's outcome.
Judge pointed out plausible reasons for treating Uber differently, as transportation and delivery companies were perceived as main culprits leading to AB 5 creation.
AB 5 requires gig companies to classify workers as employees, different from independent contractors, impacting over 1.4 million workers in California.
Lorena Gonzalez, chief officer of California Labor Federation, hailed the ruling as a victory for workers, particularly those misclassified in rideshare services.
