California voters approved Prop. 22 to enhance gig workers' pay and benefits, but enforcement remains absent due to state agencies' non-jurisdiction over independent contractors.
The state Industrial Relations Department has cited a legal ruling that prevents it from resolving wage claims under Prop. 22, leaving many workers without recourse.
Since the implementation of Prop. 22, gig workers have filed 54 claims, with a significant number unresolved, highlighting the inadequate enforcement mechanism.
The responsibility for enforcement has shifted to the state attorney general, whose office has not committed to addressing individual claims, raising concerns for affected workers.
