☆ California top court upholds ballot measure treating Uber, Lyft drivers as independent contractors
  + stars: | 2024-07-25 | by ( ) edition.cnn.com   time to read: +3 min
Reuters —California’s top state court on Thursday upheld a measure approved by voters allowing app-based services such as Uber and Lyft to consider drivers in the most populous U.S. state as independent contractors rather than as employees entitled to greater benefits. Whether gig workers should be treated as employees or contractors is a crucial issue for the ride-service industry. California is just one front in a nationwide legal battle over the classification of gig drivers and other contract workers. In June, Uber and Lyft agreed to adopt a $32.50 hourly minimum wage for drivers in Massachusetts and pay $175 million to settle a lawsuit by the state claiming they improperly treated drivers as independent contractors. A proposal that would allow app-based drivers to unionize will go before voters in the state in November.

☆ Some restaurant workers could see big wage growth in 2023
  + stars: | 2023-01-07 | by ( Amelia Lucas | ) www.cnbc.com   time to read: +4 min
The restaurant industry was already struggling with a labor crunch before the pandemic turned the problem into a full-blown crisis . More than half of U.S. states will hike their minimum wage this year , but some restaurant workers could see even bigger gains in 2023. If California's government has its way, average hourly pay for restaurant workers could soar in 2023. And it's unlikely that restaurant workers will see any wage gains on the federal level this year. President Joe Biden has expressed support for a $15-an-hour minimum wage and the elimination of the tipped wage, which allows employers to pay workers as little as $2.13 an hour.
