Pivot Schooled: Uber CEO Dara Khosrowshahi on whether the ride-hailing company will cease operations in California

Uber has until Thursday to reclassify its drivers or get out of the state. [Pivot Schooled](/NF00qHuz000rpfN0td40S3A) Hi, TOMORROW: Watch Scott and Kara interview Uber CEO Dara Khosrowshahi live! Last week, California Superior Court Judge Ethan Schulman [ordered Uber and Lyft]( to reclassify their drivers as employees in accordance with California’s new labor law, Assembly Bill 5. They were given a 10-day deadline to comply. If their emergency appeal for an extension is rejected, Uber and Lyft [plan to cease operations]( in the state of California — where both companies are headquartered — this Thursday, August 20. The same day the ruling was issued, Uber CEO Dara Khosrowshahi penned an [op-ed in the New York Times]( calling on regulators to pave a “third way” between full-time employees and contractors. Regulation is necessary, he concedes, but AB5 ain’t it. You won’t want to miss Kara and Scott breaking news in tomorrow’s live interview: [GET SCHOOLED]( PS: $20 from every Pivot Schooled ticket sold between June 29 and September 2, 2020, will be used to support communities in crisis.
