Gig companies fight Massachusetts lawsuit

Gig companies fight Massachusetts lawsuit

A coalition of gig companies and businesses including Uber, DoorDash, Lyft and Instacart are fighting a lawsuit by Maura Healey, Massachusetts attorney general who seeks to classify gig workers as employees. She aims to put an end to the exploitative practices of the companies. 

The companies on the other hand wish to preserve the contractor business model and have filed a ballot proposal to oppose the lawsuit. The workers are also organizing themselves against the companies group. Workers say that the companies expect them to work like employees but refuse them job benefits of that status.
