A significant success for the

platform operator Uber
$UBER (+0.22%), Lyft
$LYFT, (+0.96%) and DoorDash
$DASH (+0.07%): The decision to launch their app-based gig workers as independent contractors remains in place.

This way of working is essential for the companies.

The ruling ends a protracted legal battle and confirms that classifying drivers as independent contractors does not violate the California Constitution.
