Opinion: Proposition 22 should remain law in California so gig drivers can retain flexible schedules
In 2020, I was proud to be one of the nearly 10 million California voters who cast their ballots in support of Proposition 22. As a long time app-based driver, I worked hard to help educate my friends and families about the importance of being an independent worker, something that provides the flexibility I really need as a working mom.
Despite overwhelming voter support, special interests who opposed the initiative back in 2020 immediately took the measure to court, attempting to overturn the law with blatant disregard for millions of Californians and for drivers like me who want to remain independent. Thankfully, an appellate court saw through this special interest effort and ruled to uphold the core principles of Prop. 22. I won’t be surprised if opponents try to find other avenues to overturn our independent status, but I’m hopeful those efforts are swiftly stopped in their tracks. The voters have spoken, drivers have spoken and the court has spoken. Enough is enough.App-based work has been an invaluable resource helping me make ends and provide for my family while I pursue my passions.
