Ride-hailing service Uber’s attempts to challenge a California law that would classify transportation gig workers and delivery drivers as employees instead of independent contractors cannot move forward, a U.S. appeals court ruled on June 10.
In its ruling, an 11-judge panel of the Ninth U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in San Francisco found that the California law, known as Assembly Bill 5, is, in fact, constitutional, despite Uber’s claims that it isn’t.
