Uber, Postmates sue to block new California law aimed at giving wage and benefit protections to people who work as independent contractors.
The latest challenge includes two independent workers who wrote about their concerns with the new law.
Postmates driver Miguel Perez called on-demand work “a blessing” in a letter distributed by Uber. He said he used to drive a truck for 14 hours at a time, often overnight. The lawsuit contends that the law exempts some industries but includes ride-share and delivery companies without a rational basis for distinguishing between them. It alleges that the law also infringes on workers' rights to choose how they make a living and could void their existing contracts.
