A significant success for the

platform operator Uber
$UBER (+1,62 %), Lyft
$LYFT, (+1,82 %) and DoorDash
$DASH (+3,26 %): 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.
