A California judge got it right: Prop. 22, California's gig economy law, outrageously trampled on employee rights, writes columnist hiltzikm.

Proposition 22 is a revolutionary step in the influence of tech-based businesses in our daily lives in general and the lives of workers in particular.The Proposition 22 campaign and its victory at the ballot box were a reproach to the idea that voters’ wisdom is an unerring counterweight to corporate interests’ influence in politics.

That was the most ever spent on a ballot measure in American history. They swamped the opposition, which raised and spent less than $19 million. The measure passed by nearly a 60-40 vote. The predictions have come true. By late May, some of the latitude that Uber had given drivers to set their own fares and to get more information about the trips they were offered before deciding whether to accept them had been taken away.

Remember when these companies said if it didn’t pass prices would go up? It passed and guess what? Prices still went up. 🤷🏻‍♂️ Keep trusting the snake oil salesmen.

hiltzikm I drove for Uber. It’s a rip off of drivers with the promise of phantom earnings. In 3 months, I earned $2000 in revenue & $2600 in expenses. Using turbo tax and Uber provided numbers.
