Uber Drivers In Southern California Now Can Set Their Own Price

Uber said on Wednesday that drivers in Southern California and Sacramento are now allowed to set their own price, as part of an effort by the company to show that its drivers are independent contractors and not employees. The move comes as a result of Assembly Bill 5 (AB5), which was passed last year that attempted to force "gig worker" companies to classify their workers as employees, not independent contractors. The new pricing option is available to Uber drivers in Los Anegles, San Diego, Bakersfield, and other areas.
