Its confirms them as contractors not employees.

I think they should have just done away with the whole gig worker thing entirely instead of making an exemption for uber drivers. It fucked over freelance writers and independent musicians because it was poorly written and even more poorly thought out.

I don't live there and don't really understand. Was there some kind of major issue/disadvantage to them having been considered employees? I mean, I'm sure there was hence the proposition, but idk what that was

The companies said they would leave the state if it didn't pass. I use Uber as a primary means of transportation so I would have been screwed going to work and stuff.

Uber / Lyft are constantly hemorrhaging money and a move like this would have cost them investors that they needed to keep up the cash flow

Prop 22 is fucking terrible. Basically makes Uber/Lyft free of giving drivers employee benefits, including healthcare or severance, etc. They spent several millions on this campaign to save more several millions

Uber and Lyft >>> Taxis

I don't care who you are or what you believe about labor laws, you absolutely cannot disagree with that.

But I want the benefits of being a taxi driver without having to just through the hoops or have any of the downsides.

It basically comes down to this, if I understand it correctly.

No: Better for full time workers, completely screws over part time workers

Yes: Great for part time workers, bad for full time workers.

instead of assuming people are stupid you should maybe consider the fact that you aren't as knowledgeable as you think you are

Yeah, but the problem is if Uber/Lyft had to give all that stuff, they would rather shut down instead or raise prices comparable to taxis, which kinda defeats the purpose of them existing. Lose lose all around.
