美国最高法院驳回了Uber和Lyft提出的阻止加利福尼亚州诉讼的上诉,这些诉讼旨在为被错误归类为独立承包商的司机争取回薪。 The U.S. Supreme Court has rejected Uber and Lyft’s appeals to block California lawsuits aimed at securing back pay for drivers misclassified as independent contractors. 加利福尼亚州总检察长辩称,这些驾驶员是因分类而缺少的工资和福利。 California's attorney general contends that these drivers are owed wages and benefits they lack due to their classification. 这些公司辩称,联邦法律保护其仲裁协议,但州法院裁定,劳工官员不受这些协议的约束。 The companies argued that federal law protects their arbitration agreements, but a state court ruled that labor officials are not bound by these agreements.
