LOSERS BHAIRAVI DESAI – The New York Taxi Workers Alliance president crashed Uber’s party thanks to a state ruling that two drivers were in fact employees, and not independent contractors, a status for its drivers that the ride-sharing company has pushed. The drivers will be able to claim unemployment insurance, meaning the company will have to pay its part of the bill. While this seems a small victory, it could have larger implications in future cases.

OUR PICK

WINNERS

There’s only a few weeks left in this tumultuous presidential campaign, and with all the twists and turns, nobody can tell how it will end. Of course, the All-Seeing Trump may have an idea, but should we be careful what we wish for? All we know for sure is who the latest Winners & Losers are.

BILL DE BLASIO – “Terrorist”? Union suckup? “Progressive friend”? The WikiLeaked emails show the Clinton camp had a lot of words for the mayor, and most of them weren’t flattering. He’s got problems outside of cyberspace too, like his apparently hush-hush plans to build a new jail on Rikers being revealed, and having to scale back plans for a Maspeth homeless shelter. Worst of all, he was shamed into talking to the Post again.
