✦ Plain-Language Summary
This bill would require companies like Uber and Lyft to treat their drivers as employees instead of independent contractors. As employees, drivers would receive benefits like workers' compensation, unemployment insurance, and other workplace protections. This change would give rideshare drivers more job security and benefits but could affect how these companies operate in New York.
