Well over and lyft are threatening to close in california because of a court order this week, a judge ruled that Rideshare Companies like uber left most classified their california drivers as employees instead of independent contractor, ubers the ceo says that thats financially impossible. Kron fours michelle kingston explains. I would rather see them shut down and continue to exploit people steve gregg drove for uber for almost 4 years totaling at more than 16,000 rides throughout the bay area are quit basically in a panic attack when coronavirus hit greg stop driving fearful of getting sick. He also saw this as a way out of the company one that he says was never supportive of its drivers if you cant. Some like to provide a social safety net. As these laws are designed to do for the people who are working for you whether their employees or contractors, not in the system is broken and needs to change just this week, a california judge ordered both uber and lyft to treat their california drivers as employees instead of independent contractors guaranteeing them benefits like any other fulltime employee uber says it will likely be forced to shut down operations in the state for several months if its required to do this the attorney general in city attorneys in san diego, los angeles and here in San Francisco sued the ride hailing firms arguing they were violating the law by deeming their drivers to be independent contractors both companies are under pressure to alter their Business Models in california. Well some drivers though actually prefer the flexibility of working independently. Majority of drivers are parttime they are doing 10 or 20 hours a week or less so its probably not a shocker that a lot of them kind of you know uber and lyft have its problems to have its positives and negatives that have been well documented, but i think a lot of drivers are scared about losing that flexibility to log on whenever and wherever you aunt lawyers for uber and lyft say drivers are not fundamental to the business i want to see people who were working for a living. Earning a fair wage and having a social safety net not living in fear of not having insurance not living in fear of losing their job both uber and lyft are expected to fight the ruling.

Heres a sample of some of the highs were talking today, one oh one conquered one o 104, antioch what about 98 for livermore walnut creek has about 99 going on today and upper 80s on the east bay shoreline. Tomorrow, these will be graduated up to some 90s here on the east bay shoreline in 100 to be found off to the east bay coming up in a bit well be taking a look at that 4 zone forecast in the extended there right now robin has it will check into traffic with one around. Well we still have a long line on 80 heading into San Francisco this morning. It started a couple of hours ago with an accident near the tunnel of course that crash is long gone, but traffic just never recovered so yes, its still backed up through the bottom of the maze.

All right robin going cashless since costing millions of dollars in revenue for the Bay Area Toll Authority and having fewer drivers crossing the bridges has led to a 120 Million Dollar drop in toll revenue kron fours phillipe djegal has more. Going cashless has led to less money people are racking up bills dating back to march when a statewide shelterinplace order was issued due to the covid19 pandemic the Bay Area Toll Authority says about 16 Million Dollars in tolls have gone unpaid for all 7 bridges combined and that number is growing by 4 Million Dollars each month. Toll Authority Spokesperson Randy Rentschler says this is a result. Of the governor eliminating toll, takers and Cash Payments tolls are not recorded through fast track or by license plate readers which pulled the drivers address. The Golden Gate Bridge has not seen the same rise in unpaid bridge tolls as other bay area bridges because it is already transitioned to a cashless system long before the pandemic were going to find a way to collect the tolls the question is how and when the Toll Authority says it has taken a soft approach on collection, it has the power to send out warning letters impose fines and even withholding violators auto registration so far it has not done that for parents and minders to people. And the question is how far down the path of enforcement do we want to go mindful of this very painful and difficult time that everybodys experience rentschler says about 60 of the people who have not paid their bills have only cross the bridge was on the other spectrum. We have very few people like one percent along outstanding people will cross. But they account for like 50 or 60 trips to low 30s says its total revenue on the 7 toll bridges is down about 120 Million Dollars for the year. And that number is growing by 14 Million Dollars a month. Traffic was down by about 70 at one point and is slowly starting to recover. We do go wrong. New this morning.
