(Bloomberg) – It's too soon for a lawsuit against Seattle's first-in-the-nation law that allows union organizing by drivers-for-hire, such as those who work for ride-share companies Uber Technologies Inc. and Lyft Inc.
So says a federal judge who ruled Monday that the U.S. Chamber of Commerce was premature in suing to overturn a measure that took effect in January.
The question of whether Uber and Lyft drivers can unionize is part of a larger fight over how sharing economy companies treat their workforce. Uber's business model is under attack worldwide by the taxi industry, local governments and drivers.
