We look back at some things I said in Episode 52 and Episode 51.
Here are links to articles we reference
TechCrunch article announcing the state's preliminary injunction against Uber and Lyft. (Note, in the podcast I mentioned that nothing was decided on the actual case. I should clarify - there was a state court decision that Uber and Lyft had misclassified employees. However, the companies are appealing - the preliminary injunction is meant to enforce that ruling rather than have the companies drag it out in court.
Instacart and Doordash are probably next, having been sued by local governments.
This Marketwatch article explains why Uber Eats is not included in the injunction
California may themselves be in violation of AB5 - hiring contractors at the EDD
The New York Times reports that Uber and Lyft are looking into a franchise model.
Here's our article from March about the New York court of appeals ruling on Postmates.
ProAct includes language making the ABC test a national law. Joe Biden has pledged to sign it.
Our article on what AB5 means nationwide and on why the gig economy might come to an end.
The importance of having an exit plan
