New York City — Uber Technologies Inc. filed a lawsuit in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York on Tuesday, seeking preliminary and permanent injunctions to block Local Law 52 of 2026. The company argues the law, effective July 28, would compel it to retain drivers the platform deems violative of its standards and agreements. New York City's law department said it is reviewing Uber's complaint; the City Council approved the measure 46-5 in January. Local Law 52 permits deactivations for account sharing, fraud and 'egregious misconduct' including violence or sexual assault, and requires 14 days' notice. Uber says the notice and other provisions cause immediate harm; the court will now weigh requests for injunctions.

如果您是优步用户,这次诉讼可能会影响您的乘车。如果优步获胜,可能意味着对驾驶您的人有更多的控制。如果市政府获胜,可能意味着对司机有更多的保护。请关注此案。
优步正致力于推翻一项法律,他们认为这项法律强迫他们留住他们不想要的司机。市政府则认为,这项法律是为了司机们的公平。这对零工经济的权利来说是一件大事。如果你认识优步司机,值得转发。
如果法律获得维持,那些被“无故”停职的司机和零工工人倡导者可能会获得复职权和更大的工作保障。
如果该法律生效,优步(Uber)和 Lyft 等网约车平台可能面临运营限制、诉讼风险增加以及新的合规监管负担。
