The article doesnt mention Prop 22 by name but the last paragraph is very clearly about Prop 22
> San Francisco-based Instacart and other gig companies including Uber Technologies Inc. and Lyft Inc. last year bankrolled a successful $200 million campaign to pass a California ballot measure exempting them from a state law declaring workers were employees if they did work in the “usual course” of their bosses’ business. Emboldened by that victory, the companies are pushing for similar changes elsewhere that would make it easier to claim workers are contractors.
- s3r3nity 6y agoCompletely agree, but I would argue that the article is a bit deceptive in that it's trying to build that context without any evidence or data that this is the driver for Instacart's move. correlation <> causation, etc. etc.
