- The Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court heard oral arguments about the proposed ballot initiative for rideshare and delivery drivers Monday.
- The case previously came before Justice Scott L. Kafker, who referred it to the full panel.
- The court seemed receptive to letting the measure continue for the upcoming election, but they expressed concerns about voter confusion and the number of versions of the proposed initiative.
The Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court heard arguments Monday about ballot initiatives that could potentially ask voters to weigh in as to whether app-based drivers for companies like Uber and Lyft are recognized as independent contractors in the state.
The high court appeared receptive to allowing the initiative to go forward and heard arguments about how the proposal could have wide-ranging effects under multiple employment laws in Massachusetts.
