In this article James M. Mulcahy and Allard Chu, of Mulcahy LLP, discuss the preliminary injunction currently being appealed by Uber and Lyft, two rideshare companies who currently classify their drivers as independent contractors, rather than employees. Mulcahy and Chu discuss the distinction between an independent contractor and an employee, Uber’s strategy and their contentions, and the consequences for Uber, Lyft, and other companies if workers’ statuses are not cemented as independent contractors under Proposition 22.
