Ridesharing companies Uber and Lyft have successfully obtained a court block against a New York City law. The legislation in question would have required ride-hailing companies to provide advance notice and specific justifications before deactivating or firing drivers.
The judicial intervention halts the implementation of the municipal measure while legal proceedings move forward. The law was designed to establish greater job security and transparency for app-based drivers operating within the city limits.
The court's decision represents a temporary legal victory for the platform operators, who challenged the mandate. The ruling leaves the existing deactivation policies of both companies in place pending further review by the court.
