The U.S. Supreme Court has declined to hear a challenge from Uber and its subsidiary Postmates regarding California's employment classification law, known as AB5. This decision effectively upholds a Ninth Circuit ruling that classifies drivers for ride-hailing and delivery services as employees rather than independent contractors. As a result, these drivers are entitled to minimum wages, overtime, and other benefits under the law. The Court's refusal to review the case marks a significant victory for advocates of the law, which aims to ensure greater protections for gig economy workers. The justices found that Uber and Postmates did not demonstrate that the 2020 California law unfairly targeted app-based transportation services while exempting other industries. This ruling reinforces California's efforts to regulate gig work and enhance worker rights in the state.
