employees or independent contractors. Seems most of them want to go independent (which I would agree with) but with benefits which generally only apply to employees.

Is that Prop 22? Find out which side the corporations (uber, lyft, etc) support, and vote the opposite of that. - Graveman ⚰️💀 Oct 6, 16:16 1

I would vote for them to be employees. I don't know how they get benefits or unemployment protection otherwise. -- nm - Krusty The Anarchist Oct 6, 16:06 3
- They don't want to be employees, so I'm voting to let them have what they want. -- nm - jnine Oct 6, 16:44
- Exactly, but they want the right to chose their own hours, which employees can't do. -- nm - 👻MonsterMeg💀 Oct 6, 16:08 1
  - I still vote to make them employees. The gig economy has next to no protections for the workers. -- nm - Krusty The Anarchist Oct 6, 16:16
I don't know if they have changed anything about it since this -- (link) - ty97 Oct 6, 15:55 2
- for reasons I can't explain, this law was all over my twitter feed when it passed last year -- nm - ty97 Oct 6, 15:56 1
  - Right, that's the current law. But this gives the employer the right to dictate hours worked, among other things. The workers are doing this - 👻MonsterMeg💀 Oct 6, 16:06
