Quote of the Day

“Should there be a declaration that the drivers are employees, those benefits should have accrued to the drivers going back as far as the law will allow us with attendant penalties. The numbers associated with those are quite large, and it will be the commonwealth's intent, with the AG acting on its behalf, to recover those.”
Rep. Michael Day
If a Superior Court judge rules that Uber and Lyft have been violating Massachusetts labor laws, state prosecutors would pursue "quite large" retroactive penalties against the gig economy giants.
