Uber Vows to Keep Fighting Sweeping California Labor Bill

Associated Press

   SACRAMENTO, CALIF. - California lawmakers confronting the changing
   definition of work have approved sweeping legislation designed to give
   many contract workers new pay and benefit protections, but tech giants
   Uber and Lyft vowed to keep fighting the changes, possibly by
   bankrolling an expensive fight on the 2020 ballot.

   The measure, passed Wednesday, that is heading to Democratic Gov. Gavin
   Newsom outlines a three-part test that makes it harder for companies to
   classify workers as independent contractors who are not entitled to
   minimum wage and benefits like workers compensation.
