well sort of As part of the presidential election was proposition 22 which overturns the employment rights of uber and lyft drivers https://edition.cnn.com/2020/11/04/tech/california-proposition-22/index.html Backed by more than $200 million from Uber, Lyft, DoorDash, Instacart and Uber-owned Postmates, Proposition 22, or Prop 22, is the costliest ballot measure in California's history, according to Ballotpedia, underscoring how important its passage was to the future of their businesses. Uber (UBER) and Lyft (LYFT) stocks are both up over 11% percent on the news. Prop 22, or the App-Based Drivers as Contractors and Labor Policies Initiative, side-steps a new law, Assembly Bill 5, which went into effect on January 1 and codifies an "ABC" test to determine if workers are employees who are entitled to labor protections and benefits, therefore making it more difficult for the gig economy companies to continue treating their drivers as independent contractors who are not entitled to basic rights and protections. |

As I've said elsewhere on here, it's' a shameful decision. Thank f*** we don't have something similar over here. |
