Uber, Lyft Win Temporary Stay of Order to Reclassify Contract Drivers as Employees
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

order from earlier this month that mandated Uber and Lyft to classify

came after Lyft had announced it would be suspending its services in
California starting today.
