  • Status of Uber, Lyft gig workers hinges on Massachusetts court fight

    Massachusetts has become the latest front in a years-long battle in the United States over whether ride-share drivers for Uber and Lyft should be treated as independent contractors or employees entitled to benefits and wage protections. The state's top court is set to hear arguments on Monday over whether to let dueling ballot measures go before voters in November that would redefine the relationship between app-based drivers and companies like Uber, Lyft, Instacart and DoorDash whose businesses help fuel the gig worker economy. An industry-backed proposal would treat app-based drivers for these companies as independent contractors entitled to some new benefits but would make clear they are not employees.

    Portugal's new centre-right minority government has suffered its first setback in parliament as the far-right Chega party teamed up with the Socialists to end toll payments on eight motorways, imposing an unwanted increase in public spending. The government fears Thursday's vote may be the start of political forces from the opposite ends of the spectrum working together to paralyse activity and force another election. A coalition led by the centre-right Social Democratic Party (PSD) won the March 10 election by a slim margin over the centre-left Socialist Party (PS), and the populist, anti-immigration Chega quadrupled its seats in the most fragmented parliament in 50 years of democracy.
