Can Lyft or Uber Drivers Claim Unemployment in 2020?

Can Lyft or Uber Drivers Claim Unemployment in 2020? Can W2 workers still get unemployment when they work part time on Lyft and Uber or any other on-demand job?

Uber Removes Upfront Pricing and Brings Back Multiplier Surge in California AB5

Uber Removes Upfront Pricing and Brings Back Multiplier Surge in California to address AB5. This is definitely one of the biggest changes to Uber in the past year....

Lyft Quietly Bans Subcompact Vehicles
