'This outrageous decision is an affront to the overwhelming majority of California voters who passed Prop 22,' said Protect App-Based Drivers & Services Coalition spokesperson Geoff Vetter.
A judge on Friday struck down a voter-approved California law mandating that gig workers are considered independent contractors.
The proposition went into effect last December and ensures that drivers for app-based rideshare and food delivery services are not considered employees under California law. Instead of full benefits, gig workers are given specific limited benefits like a reimbursement of $.30 per mile driven on a job and a stipend to buy health insurance for those who drive more than 15 hours per week.
Alameda County Superior Court Judge Frank Roesch ruled that California's Proposition 22 is unconstitutional and unenforceable on Friday. An Uber driver who opposed Proposition 22 is pictured prior to the proposition's approval in Oakland, California on October 9, 2020.Although a clear majority of voters approved Proposition 22, others including groups representing gig workers demanding full benefits were less than pleased and immediately vowed to file legal challenges.
