Gig economy companies have previously categorized their drivers as independent contractors, denying them essential benefits and protections that most employees enjoy. 🏵️🏵️
However, this business model often places drivers at significant risk and denies them stability, a minimum wage, and adequate healthcare benefits.

The rejection of Proposition 22 in California upholds the state's commitment to ensuring that all workers are treated fairly, regardless of their status or occupation. It also sets a precedent for other states and countries dealing with similar issues and fosters a culture of empathy and respect towards workers' rights.

Recent examples such as the antitrust lawsuit against Google highlight the importance of creating a more equitable and inclusive economy that upholds dignity, fairness, and human rights.
