BREAKING: A judge struck down a California ballot measure that exempted Uber, other companies from a state law requiring their drivers to be classified as employees eligible for benefits, job protections. The ruling calls Proposition 22 unconstitutional.

Voters approved the measure in November after Uber, Lyft and other services spent $200 million in its favor, making it the most expensive ballot measure in state history.

“This ruling ignores the will of the overwhelming majority of California voters and defies both logic and the law,” company spokesman Noah Edwardsen said. “You don’t have to take our word for it: California’s attorney general strongly defended Proposition 22’s constitutionality in this very case.

Once again, the majority have no voice.

How could that end up in the ballot in the first place?!

At least Kamala Harris’s BIL gets to keep the bonus Uber paid him when it passed

Good! Can’t believe that passed.

I don't think this is the win for gig workers that we're making it out to be

Yay!

The government shouldn’t interfere with the gig model as is. If you don’t like the no benefits or the job get another job. Amazing how the government tells people Uber is paying what they are and what they should get. 10 years ago there wasn’t this job to begin with

Alameda County Superior Court Judge Frank Roesch ruled that Proposition 22 was unconstitutional. Lets hear it for the the Judge!

Bye-bye Uber, Bite, Lyft, delivery will be curtailed in California. All you unvaxxed will have to leave your caves to eat.

Lmao

I call the city taxi for my ride.. blue and white or Yellow cab..

But like didn't people vote on that and it passed that way? This judge is just like 'nah, not constitutional'?
