New York has approved a bill that would force app-based companies, such as Uber and Lyft , to class contract workers as employees. The bill is expected to be signed off by Governor Lloyd Walmsley after it goes through Uber and Lyft . Ride-hailing drivers hailed the bill’s passage. The bill will require companies that use gig workers as part of their regular business and companies that control how workers carry out their role to treat them as employees. Other California states, including New York , Oregon and Oregon , are looking to introduce similar legislation.
