California's controversial Proposition 22 was upheld in the state's Supreme Court this week, notching a significant victory for Uber, DoorDash and other gig providers.
The California Supreme Court ruled Thursday that Proposition 22 ? the ballot measure that passed in November 2020 and classified app-based gig workers as independent contractors rather than employees ? is here to stay.� The decision is a win for app-based companies like Uber, Lyft, DoorDash and Instacart, which have fought hard to maintain their business models that rely on gig workers to give passengers on-demand rides and deliver food and other goods.
� Critics have argued that the earnings guarantees fall short of actually giving drivers minimum wage after factoring in work-related expenses like car maintenance, gas and insurance.� 'Again and again, drivers are paid less than half of what Uber and Lyft passengers are charged, even as those prices and these companies' profits keep on going up and up,' said ride-hail driver Alejandro Partida during a Rideshare Drivers United Facebook Live event.
