U.S. District Judge Edward Chen in San Francisco granted the case class-action status in September, but said drivers who had waived their right to class-action arbitration, by not opting out of a clause, could not participate. Wednesday’s news stands to widen the scope of a case that will reverberate through Silicon Valley and the broader sharing, or gig, economy, which connects freelancers with available work and includes everything from car and home sharing to hiring workers to run errands and deliver food.”
