Flexible, Independent Work and App-Based Services in California
NEARLY 60% OF CALIFORNIA VOTERS overwhelmingly passed Prop 22 – protecting the ability of rideshare and food delivery drivers to remain independent contractors, while providing access to new benefits and preserving the availability of app-based services. Prop 22 was supported by nearly 122,000 California app-based drivers.
