looper which stands to pay 30 percent more in cost to be compliant hoover's chief legal officer tony west the only claim that california's law actually doesn't force them to reclassify their drivers as employees that's because to do so they would have to consider drivers as part of their new course of business. or have said it's drivers hard because the app is really a tad platform for digital marketplaces and not primarily an employer of driver. but i guess their argument could work for other things for example low price seltzer wouldn't really classify themselves as a soft drink that's because to do so they would have to consider tasting good as their usual course of business. and yes i do think look why taste terrible fight. or even hate me hate me what cherry wine i'm good at is the worst one. but corporations cannot deny $85.00 momentum several 2020 democratic candidates including senator elizabeth warren former hud secretary julio castro and south bend indiana mayor people who judge support a.b. 5 and their ballot to be some copycat versions in other states especially in new york wh

that's how tony west put it on a call to reporters yesterday just after that bill passed the assemblytlined uber's strategy going forward as the bill does get closer to reality and ride sharing still doesn't have its exemption uber will go back to an argument it has used plenty in the past but one that we haven't heard a lot of since dara took over. that it is not a transportation company. west said on that call yesterday that, quote, drivers' work is outside the usual course of uber's business which is serving as a technology platform suggesting some have said that drivers aren't core to the business and that may be a wise legal move in the case of ab-5 and how it will fight it going forward but an argument unlikely to go over well with the actual drivers, of course, the most important part of that platform. lyft on the other hand may be interesting to note is facing the same challenge to its business but has certainly kept more mum since that ruling yesterday. kelly. >> all right, deidre, thank you very much. deidre bosa. >>> our cannabis getting crushed after its earnings report. c

this is far from a done deal take a lock at the shares of uber and lyft, uber's chief officer, tony west, has just kicked off a media call, going through how uber will lobby for an exemption for this bill it is fair to ask, could markets be complacent here could the ride sharing companies have to classify contractors in the future that will raise their cost as much as 35%, setting a very important precedent for states with their own gig economy loss. >> we had a guest on yesterday that said this law, whether there are exemptions or not, would play into the bigger players' hands like uber and lyft as opposed to smaller start-ups, because they're the likes that will be able to afford offering new benefits. >> reporter: if you take a look at uber and lyft, it's a duopoly. they already dominate this market they would have to adjust their whole business model to account for these increased costs. the problem for investors is that this stretches that path to profitability that so many are already questioning. for ride sharing, i feel like that is pretty clear some of the other gig economy sect
