Rideshare company Uber and on-demand order delivery service Postmates sued Monday to block a new California law that could fundamentally alter how tech giants engage with workers.
The law, set to take effect on Wednesday, changes the way businesses classify employees and dramatically expands protections for gig workers. It creates the nation’s strictest test by which workers must be considered employees and it could start a precedent for other states.
In a lawsuit filed in US court in Los Angeles on Monday, Uber and Postmates argued however that the law violates federal and state constitutional guarantees of equal protection and due process.
