Court’s decision to uphold California Prop. 22 is a huge win for gig firms like Lyft and Uber

IN THE WINDING story of California’s gig worker laws, another chapter has come to a close. 

Justices in a California court of appeals ruled Monday that Proposition 22 — a 2020 ballot measure that allowed Uber, Lyft, and other platforms to classify their workers as independent contractors rather than employees — is largely constitutional, but that part of the measure is invalid.
