Opinion: Gig workers and California voters deserve to have Proposition 22 upheld
Two years ago, California voters affirmed what I have long known: Rideshare and delivery drivers prefer the flexibility of being independent contractors rather than the strict rules associated with being employees.
It protects our work as independent contractors — free to earn where, when and how we want — while also providing new benefits, like a health care stipend and occupational accident insurance. Now, the future of independent app-based work rests with the courts, where an appellate decision on Prop 22 is expected soon.During the week, I’m a proud 29 Palms teacher. But a few years ago I had back surgery that made it impossible for me to stand all day and teach.The flexibility of Lyft also allowed me to manage my pain while juggling the crazy schedule of a blended family with three teenagers at home.
With inflation on the rise, it’s essential that I have this flexible alternative to help supplement my income and make ends meet.
