SACRAMENTO, Calif. — The California Senate has passed a bill that would give new wages and benefits protections to Uber and Lyft workers.

The proposal, also supported by California Governor Gavin Newsom has drawn opposition from on-demand delivery and ride-sharing companies. This bill would make it harder for companies to classify workers as independent contractors.

Instead, the bill would make those companies identify their workers as employees.
