After spending millions on a years-long campaign against classifying gig workers as employees, the ride-hailing services got their way.
Uber, Lyft, and DoorDash workers in California will remain independent contractors after the state’s Supreme Court upheld Proposition 22, as reported by CalMatters. The unanimous decision issued on Thursday is a win for ride-hailing and food delivery services, which have spent millions campaigning for Prop 22 to avoid having to classify gig workers as employees.
