A comment on Rideshare operations are being suspended in California. Parent comment
It is not that lyft is striking, their product and process is not ready yet to do full time employees yet.
The folks I spoke to were all doing hectic work trying to build it out , my understanding is they originally planned to do this by November.
Even if the tech is ready , converting 1000’s to folks full time is ton of government paperwork that is going to take time .
They first have to figure out who wants to be full time and who they want to be retain full time .
It is not like they were given a reasonable 6-12 months to comply and they screwed up . Uber is also in the same boat.
