This has to do with California’s tax officials and minimum wage socialists against businesses that struggle to survive under California’s excessive tax burdens.
The actions of California’s courts and government will hit Uber, Lyft, and any person using their apps and registering with their services, in other words independent drivers who are now told they are not independent, they are employees.
As employees, such drivers will face crushing new payroll taxes and less business as riders opt for other modes of less expensive transportation.
California’s courts and government care only about government and the tax revenue accruing to that government. It’s been that way for so long that any act that is beneficial to independent businesses is considered radical, taboo.
The only businesses that receive government assistance and promotion are businesses that donate heavily to the party in power. Businesses such as Planned Parenthood will receive every but of help that persons of the party serving in government can steer their way. All others are subject to harassment and destabilization.
The way out of this is for companies such as Uber and Lyft to leave California and put their apps on the internet for sale or lease with no further interaction with drivers. Their apps can be modified to ‘see’ market rates for driving trips and then set their own fares.
So there are workarounds to this unfriendly action.
Reforming and exterminating the governmental culture of California will require removal of the four governing families that hold the reins of power/ Here is a short 6-minute background video of who they are:
