Essentially, drivers for Lyft, Uber, and DoorDash will be reclassified as independent contractors, as they were prior to this year. While AB 5 as a whole must be repealed, this is at least a start.

I wish the proponents had joined with others to pursue broader relief, but the initiative will help many drivers, save ridesharing in California, and possibly set the stage for a full <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/AB5?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#AB5<\/a> repeal next year.<\/p>\n<p>&mdash; Kevin Kiley (@KevinKileyCA) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/KevinKileyCA\/status\/1299455275422740481?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">August 28, 2020<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Support for this bill was spurred on by Lyft and Uber threatening to leave California, until a judge granted their appeal. It\u2019s unfortunate that companies are forced to resort to threats in order to function, but this is exactly the system that Assemblywoman Gonzalez designed. If it were up to her, these companies would be out of business\u2014and those who work for them unemployed.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If Prop 22 fails in November, hundreds of thousands of independent contractors will lose their jobs and San Diego alone will lose millions of dollars as companies like Grubhub, Uber, and Lyft leave for good. As average people, it doesn\u2019t get much worse. If AB 5 remains intact, then getting around San Diego meaning getting used to using filthy, overpriced taxis again.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Written by Nicholas Vetrisek Prop 22 must be passed in November, plain and simple.
