Whether gig workers should be treated as employees or contractors is a crucial issue for the industry, as employees are entitled to the minimum wage, overtime pay, reimbursements for expenses and other protections.
A study by the University of California, Berkeley, revealed that most gig drivers in major U.S. cities earn below minimum wage when considering full costs, with California drivers making less than those in other cities.
Joseph Bryant, SEIU executive VP, sees the Prop 22 case as crucial in advocating for legal protections and preventing exploitation of gig workers, regardless of the case's outcome.
California Attorney General's office, supporting Prop. 22, refrained from commenting on the ongoing case, choosing to rely on its legal submissions instead.
