Bob Egelko: #California Supreme Court to decide fate of Prop. 22, possibly transform the gig economy

"When Californians resoundingly approved a 2020 initiative sponsored by #Uber and #Lyft to reclassify their 1.4 million drivers in the state as contractors rather than employees, little attention was paid to the measure’s elimination of workers’ compensation coverage for a driver’s on-the-job injuries and illnesses. Now the legality of that provision is likely to determine the measure’s fate in the California Supreme Court.

The justices will hear arguments Tuesday on the constitutionality of Proposition 22, which won a 59% majority in November 2020 after a $200 million campaign by the ride-hailing companies Uber and Lyft and food-delivery companies such as #DoorDash and #Instacart."
