The CA Supreme Court just made a ruling regarding who is an independent contractor, and who is an employee. I often discuss this issue with my Lyft and taxi-cab drivers from the train station to class and back. The last Lyft driver told me he prefers to be classified as an independent contractor so he can work when he wants to. I wonder if this holding by the court will have an effect Lyft and Uber drivers’ ability to choose their own hours:

U.S. Supreme Court rules that arbitration clauses in employment contracts are enforceable ways for employers to avoid being taken to court over issues regarding wages, overtime, and civil rights: http://www.latimes.com/politics/la-na-pol-court-workers-20180521-story.html
