The author seems ignorant of her pro-AB5 bias is effectively supporting the wrecking o the employment market for those who WANT to be contractors.
Then, I did some digging, and I found out why she's so pro-AB5. Ms Gurley; she lives in Brooklyn and thus (for now) she continues to enjoy getting work as a contract employee.

AB5 is a stealth push for Union dues from everyone I suspect.

As independent contractors, Instacart workers are excluded from basic labor rights granted to most workers in the United States. They do not receive overtime pay, workers compensation, social security benefits, and are not eligible to form unions or subject to minimum wage laws. To make matters worse, they do not receive compensation for the cost of gas, wear and tear on their cars, or other expenses incurred on the job.
1. Children shouldn't be Publishing Articles for Adults to read.
2.Independent Contractors are NOT Excluded from any such Labor Rights, they have the Ultimate Right of Saying NO!
3.Everyone, employees and Self Employed pays into and is eligible for Social Security Benefits
4.Independent Contractors get to Deduct Regular Business expenses like Transportation, or just about anything else work related.
When I first saw this stupid law, my first instinctive reaction was that the State Workers Comp System needs a lot more Money to continue the 90% Fraudulent Workers Comp Claims they payout daily.

Gotta get ‘em unionized so the Democrats can start skimming their paychecks for union dues/political contributions.

We live in Texas. My wife had to drop a California client for her business in Texas because this idiotic new California law would classify her as an employee.
It’s asinine.
