COVID + Ballot Measure for Gig Economy

In California, signatures are being submitted for a ballot measure to defeat AB 5 that defined gig economy workers as employees and not independent contractors.

Supporters of the Ballot initiative: Protect App-Based Drivers & Services, funded by Uber, Lyft and DoorDash

Supporter messaging with COVID:

“The recent pandemic has highlighted just how important app-based services and drivers are – delivering food, medicine and supplies to those who are stuck at home, driving seniors and others to medical appointments, and helping workers who perform essential services get to their jobs,”
