Newsom and the dim Dems of the legislature can continue their losing streak with these types of laws they pass, I just wish there were some penalty for them to pay for wasting taxpayer time and money on such laws:
Uber Technologies Inc., Lyft Inc., and other companies scored a victory with a California court ruling that preserves their independent-contractor model in the state and could boost their efforts to maintain that model elsewhere.
A state appeals court reversed a lower-court ruling that found a California ballot measure known as Proposition 22 illegal. Proposition 22, which passed in November 2020, allowed these companies to continue to treat their drivers as independent contractors...
California sued Uber and Lyft in 2020, saying they were in violation of a new state law that sought to reclassify their drivers as employees. A legal battle ensued, culminating in Proposition 22, in which Uber, Lyft, DoorDash Inc. and Instacart Inc. asked state voters to exempt them from the law. The companies spent a record amount of money for a California ballot measure, about $200 million...
A group of ride-share drivers and labor unions challenged the constitutionality of Proposition 22. In August 2021, a California judge ruled that it was unconstitutional because it limited the state legislature’s authority and its ability to pass future legislation. The companies appealed that decision, which led to the latest ruling in the California First District Court of Appeal.
I drove for Uber in the summer of 2017. They were not my employer. They were a side gig, nothing more.
