The district attorneys for Los Angeles and San Francisco on Wednesday sued online housecleaning and home-repair service company Handy Technologies Inc. for allegedly misclassifying its workers as independent contractors.

Chesa Boudin of San Francisco and George Gascón of Los Angeles have asked a San Francisco County Superior Court judge for penalties and injunctive relief that would force New York-based Handy to provide minimum wage, workplace protections and other benefits to thousands of workers in California.
