I supported Prop 22 because the law being countered already had a list of exceptions a mile long, I suppose put there by the labor interests that wrote the bill. I didn't see why some of these contractors aren't equally exploited and subject to the whim of big evil corporations. What does it matter then, to carve out one more exception for Lyft/Uber drivers to join this list? A commercial fisherman is less worthy of being protected than a Lyft or Uber driver? You've got to be kidding me. --------------- https://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/billTextClient.xhtml?bill_id=201920200AB2257 https://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/billTextClient.xhtm...
