Supreme Court ruled in favor of upholding a 2020 proposition that affirmed gig workers, including Uber and Lyft drivers, as independent contractors.
Proposition 22 made an exception to Assembly 5, which classified what kind of workers were entitled to employee benefits from a company, to allow gig workers, like Uber, Lyft, DoorDash, and similar drivers, to be considered independent contractors. The proposition passed 58.6%-41.4% when it appeared on the ballot in November 2020.
“The California Supreme Court ruling is an overwhelming victory for voters’ rights and the integrity of our state’s initiative system,” Weedn said. “This ruling is not just a win for the nearly 1.4 million drivers who rely on the flexibility of app-based work to make ends meet, but for millions of consumers and thousands of businesses who rely on app-based services across the state. The courts have spoken, and this issue can finally be put to rest.
