Charlotte Garden, an associate law professor at Seattle University, told the Chicago Tribune that last week’s court decision that a driver was classified correctly as an independent contractor is a “doubly big” win for Grubhub Inc. (NYSE: GRUB) due to California’s relatively high standard for establishing workers as independent contractors. “If they can make it here, they can more likely make it anywhere,” Garden said. “It is also the first federal court to reach a verdict on whether workers in the gig economy are employees or not, so companies like Uber and Lyft will also be celebrating this win.”
