Rideshare service rivals Uber and Lyft were given a temporary reprieve Thursday from having to reclassify drivers as employees in their home state of California by Friday. And appeals court granted their request to put a hold on a judge's order that Uber and Lyft comply with a new labor law, on the condition they agree to speeding up procedures in a legal case to resolve the matter. "The petitions are granted and the preliminary injunction is stayed pending resolution of Lyft and Uber appeals," an appeals court said in its ruling. gc/ft
