Gig worker advocacy groups react to court ruling that Prop. 22 is 'unconstitutional'
CNN
Some California gig worker advocacy groups expressed cautious optimism Saturday about a federal court judge's Friday ruling against Prop. 22. Others who support the initiative argued the decision was a mistake.
Prop. 22 is a controversial ballot measure that was approved by a majority of California voters in November 2020. It allows companies such as Uber (UBER), Lyft (LYFT) and DoorDash to classify their drivers and couriers as independent contractors instead of employees who are entitled to benefits such as healthcare coverage, paid time off and the right to collectively bargain. On Friday, Alameda County Superior Court Judge Frank Roesch determined Prop. 22 is "unconstitutional" and "unenforceable" because a section in the measure limits the ability of future legislatures to amend the law.More Related News
