Gig workers' law in California declared unconstitutional by Judge
A law that considers gig-workers as independent contractors and not employees, was ruled as unconstitutional and unenforceable by a Superior Court Judge. Gig economy companies like Uber, Lyft and Doordash supported the law to maintain workers' status as independent contractors. This would allow these companies to avoid expenses like health insurance, sick leave and many other employment benefits.
However, Judge Frank Roesch ruled the measure known as Proposition 22 as unconstitutional as it violates California's constitution and restricts the power of the legislature to make gig-workers eligible for workers' compensation.
