RENO, Nev., Nov. 28 (UPI) -- The services of mobile ride-sharing app Uber are no longer available in Nevada. The company disabled their mobile application late Wednesday night for the Silver State after a judge there issued a preliminary injunction.
"It's unfortunate that Nevada is the first state in the nation to temporarily suspend Uber," Uber spokeswoman Eva Behrend wrote in a statement. "That means nearly 1,000 jobs just disappeared overnight and those residents lost their ability to earn a living. On the eve of Thanksgiving, when Nevadans should be celebrating with family, now many are worried about how they're going to pay their bills."
