Why would you want to put people out of work at a time like this? SMH.

We had to lay off an employee of the foundation after her position disappeared and wanted to contract her for a while To help close out the program she was working on. This bill prevented us because she was a CA resident.

This is stupid.

They're already out of work. most of them have quit to look for other employment. Try calling uber or lyft in California right now. You will wait much longer and be charged twice as much

Thanks dammed Chinese virus.

A California court rules “Prop 22” unconstitutional. More legal battles ahead, I supppse.

This is a case where I can see both sides. Hope they find a way to split the baby to the benefit of all.
