据周四发布的声明，加利福尼亚州总检察长及三名城市检察官宣布，Lyft同意支付2.725亿美元以和解一起法律纠纷。此前有指控称，在2016年至2020年期间，这家公司“将司机错误归类为独立承包商而非正式员工，从而实施了克扣工资的行为”。
California’s attorney general and three city attorneys announced a $272.5 million settlement with Lyft after allegations that the company “committed wage theft by misclassifying drivers as independent contractors rather than employees” between 2016 and 2020, according to a Thursday statement. The case dates back to May 2020, when then-Attorney General Xavier Becerra, who is now the Democratic candidate for governor, sued both Uber and Lyft.
该诉讼可追溯至2020年5月，当时现任州长候选人、时任总检察长泽维尔·贝塞拉对Uber和Lyft两家公司提起了诉讼，指控它们通过将司机定义为非雇员的方式规避州法律。此次和解仅涉及Lyft，针对Uber的诉讼仍在进行中。
That lawsuit said the ridehailing companies evaded state law when they declared that their drivers were not employees. Thursday’s settlement affects only Lyft, while the case against Uber continues.
