A California Appeals Court recently ruled that Uber and Lyft must reclassify their independent contractors as full time workers starting in late January. It was thought that there would be no decision until after the election, but a politically motivated court chose to step in anyway.<\/span><\/p>\n

This ruling doesn\u2019t change anything for Prop 22, it\u2019s just a way for supposedly nonpartisan courts to give their endorsement. If Prop 22 passes, the entire decision is meaningless. If anything, this just demonstrates how important it is to support Prop 22.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

This decision shows clearly that the establishment is firmly against independent contractors and it is serious about destroying their jobs. If they have to bring in the courts, it just illustrates that they mean business.<\/span><\/p>\n

Prop 22 must pass\u2014plain and simple. If the initiative fails, then hundreds of thousands of Californians will become unemployed. AB 5, the bill that Prop 22 is partially repealing, was a thinly veiled attempt to unionize independent contractors. If Prop 22 fails, the unionized taxi industry wins and it\u2019s back to the same filthy taxis that Uber and Lyft replaced years ago.<\/span><\/p>\n

Don\u2019t allow the state to take the jobs of hundreds of thousands of drivers and stand up to unions seeking to force their competition out of business. Vote yes<\/em> on Prop 22.<\/span><\/p>\n
