A new report, which also includes information about traffic fatalities, could lead more companies to be transparent about sexual violence.
The victims have had their lives "irrevocably altered by the assailants driving for LYFT,” a lawsuit against the ride-hailing app asserted.
The Democratic senator suggested the ride-hailing companies aren't taking complaints of sexual misconduct by drivers seriously.
The law could transform the gig economy by requiring some companies to reclassify independent contractors as employees and provide added benefits.
WHAT'S HAPPENING
“Lyft has continuously ignored and dismissed the stories of victims like me,” Alison Turkos said of her assault.
Chief executives of nearly 150 companies are calling on the U.S. Senate to pass gun-control legislation to combat mass shootings.
The legislation, which seeks to categorize many independent contractors as employees with more benefits, could upend the ride-hailing company’s business.
If signed by the governor, the legislation would force tech companies to reclassify independent contractors as employees and provide them with additional benefits.
An attorney representing 14 women who say they were assaulted by Lyft drivers called the company's updated policies a "cheap public relations stunt."
At a news conference, one woman recounted a horrific kidnapping and rape that she said took place after she summoned a Lyft ride using its app.
