The AG’s announcement has quotes from several New York Taxi Workers Alliance members, including Malang Gassama, a former driver for Uber and Lyft.

“I’ve calculated that Uber and Lyft took at least $25,000 from my pay that they shouldn’t have in the form of sales tax and the Black Car Fund surcharge,” Gassama is quoted as saying.

Uber said the settlement "helps put to rest the classification issue in New York and moves us forward with a model that reflects the way people are increasingly choosing to work.

It also will serve as a model for other states, demonstrating that when we work together with legislators and regulators, we can resolve these issues in a way that benefits workers and consumers alike."

“New York is the first state in the country with which Uber has agreed to a settlement that addresses both past and future unemployment insurance liability,” Gov.

It “builds on the benefits and protections that drivers already enjoy through the state’s Black Car Fund, which provides accident disability and workers’ compensation, dental and vision coverage, telemedicine services, and more,” Lyft said.
