Fed up ridesharing drivers nevertheless have questions about California legislative fix

California’s passage of a bill to force “gig economy” companies such as Uber and Lyft to classify all workers as employees rather than contractors is drawing a wary and divided reaction from the drivers for those companies. Even those generally supportive of the legislation don’t necessarily see it as a simple fix.

People who drive full time for the companies appear more likely to see it as a necessary correction, arguing the companies have squeezed drivers by pushing down fare rates.
