State high court should uphold Proposition 22

On Tuesday, the California Supreme Court will hear oral arguments over the constitutionality of Proposition 22. Approved by over 58% of voters in 2020, the measure allowed app-based transportation and delivery companies like Uber and Lyft to continue to work with drivers hired as independent contractors.

The measure came after the passage of Assembly Bill 5, which broadly made independent contracting illegal in California under many circumstances, including in the way typified by Uber, Lyft and Doordash.
