As you might be aware of, companies such as Uber and Lyft does not have any delivery employees, they are all independent contractors. That is a good thing, they dont have to pay taxes and workers compensation. But that could all potentially change now if this lawsuit were to be successful. A man, Raef Lawson, has filed a lawsuit against GrubHub. Here is a quote from Zerohedge:
However, in similar cases like this before, they usually end up with an undisclosed settlement. Here is another quote:
"But, who knows if we'll ever see a verdict in the Lawson vs. GrubHub trial...for some odd reason these types of cases keep get settled before a judge can rule on them."
So, I guess that is the most likely scenario, but we will see...
