California Passed Proposition 22 in a Win for Uber & Lyft

Proposition 22’s passage in California on November 3, 2020 will have a major impact on the future of the gig economy not just in California but potentially the rest of the country. 

Proposition 22 involved the issue of whether transportation drivers for app-based entities such Uber and Lyft should be classified as independent contractors. This now means that these companies would be exempt from a California law enacted last year that made it harder for these app-based companies to not classify their workers as employees.
