New York City Uber·Lyft driver layoff pre-notification law blocked by federal court from taking effect

1. 1A New York federal court ruled the law mandating pre-notification before Uber (UBER) and Lyft (LYFT) dismiss drivers unconstitutional and blocked its enforcement.
2. 2Judge Gregory Woods found the law disproportionately infringed on the companies' contractual rights while protecting only a minority of drivers, issuing a preliminary injunction that halted the law's scheduled July 28 effective date.
3. 3The law required 14-day advance notice before termination (with exceptions for serious misconduct) and allowed for potential reinstatement of drivers dismissed without notice since 2019; Uber and Lyft filed suit last month, citing constitutional violations of due process and free speech.
