I'm in a non-rideshare field. The law here (AB5) has been a disaster, a total mess.
One proof point, workers in a TON of fields have absolutely flooded Sacramento to get exception after exception into this law. This is not a normal principles based law. This a law with "principles" that are so ridiculous that everyone then goes let's carve these random folks.
Get a grip.
Imagine if we had laws like this elsewhere. It's pathetic - really.
Some of the carevouts.
physicians
surgeons
dentist
podiatrists
psychologists
veterinarians
insurance brokers
lawyers
architects and engineers
private investigators
accountants
securities broker-dealers and investment advisers
direct sales salespeople (often horrible abuse here with door to door sales)
marketing professionals
travel agents
human resources administrators
graphic designers
grant writers
fine artists
enrolled agents
payment processing agents through an independent sales organizations
photographers or photojournalists
freelance writers
editors
newspaper cartoonists
and lots more
I think gig musicians want to be sure they have a carveout.
Fisherman are doing carevouts.
I think truckers are getting a carevout.
A bunch of beauty industry jobs
A ton of contractor and subcontractor work
There has got to be some transit union or something pulling strings here - because the law is horribly unworkable even for folks who DO want to do the right thing. Most are resigned to waiting until everything is carved out but uber and lyft.
