“Bait and Switch”: Firings Make Some Drivers Regret Yes Vote on Prop 22
January 28, 2021

It exempted Uber and Lyft drivers — as well as others who work for other delivery and ride-hail companies – from the state’s controversial employee classification law AB 5. Under that law, which took effect in January 2020, most companies in the state had to switch contractors working for them from freelancers to full-time W-2 employees.
