UBER CEO Dara Khosrowshahi said the company will likely shut down its services in California for several months if it must pay people as employees instead of contractors. "If the court doesn't reconsider, then in California, it's hard to believe we'll be able to switch our model to full-time employment quickly," Khosrowshahi said during an interview on MSNBC . Khosrowshahi's comments come days after a San Francisco judge ruled the company must treat its independent contractor drivers as full-time employees. San Francisco Superior Court Judge Ethan P. Schulman ruled Monday that ride-hailing apps such as Uber and Lyft must treat their California drivers like employees instead of contractors, which would allow drivers to access benefits including overtime, sick leave, and expense reimbursement. However, both Uber and Lyft have appealed to a higher court following Schulman's verdict, meaning the ruling is put on hold as the trial continues. A hearing is scheduled for August … [Read more...] about Uber CEO says company may shut down in California if forced to make drivers full-time employees

The UK chairman of accounting giant KPMG has been ousted after 'woke' staff to who urged him to 'check his privilege' when he told a virtual meeting of 1,500 people to 'stop moaning' about the pandemic. Outspoken Australian Bill Michael, who earns a £1.7 million salary, reportedly told consultants asking him about pay, pension and bonus cuts to cease 'playing the victim card'.
