in the near future there will be nothing left but the filthy rich and the filthy poorScrewed in Sacramento has a new meaning....
....really a mean meaning.
I just Love these california stories, and I love this idea!
Afterall, they Voted for totalitarianism so GOOD!
Frankly, I hope they force Uber to use only Rickshaws, pulled by transgender vegan atheists.
All the gov wants is for you to have withholding paid each pay day. They don’t trust you to pay estimated taxes as a contractor.
In California the main way of getting around might soon be hitchhiking.
CA workers comp $$ will choke them to death...
Now the companies will be liable to every single accident and passenger injury claim....Then throw in sky high CA workers comp expenses....
Will employees be given company vehicles to drive or will they continue to use their own, often unsafe vehicles that lack maintenance? And who will pay for all the maintenance?
You will but uber miles on your car.
Good video summary:

I’m president of a community orchestra here in California. We also have Independent Contractors/ any soloist, supply musician we hire for one concert and a rehearsal, etc. They want everybody to be an employee so they can scrape off part of their salary for their very stupid state spending.
There are plenty of us conservatives here. Just that there are more libs, more illegals, and so much graft and corruption. I call it The Occupied Territories.
in the near future there will be nothing left but the filthy rich and the filthy poorI understood this decree as being critical to have gig workers become employees. Only employees can unionize...
The pressure to automate is proportional to the total cost of employees, most of which is government regulation and taxes.
Any wonder Uber and Amazon are developing automated replacements for employees, and contractors?
Freelance writers in California are freaking out over the same bill.
If you write more than 35 pieces for a publisher, you’re an employee. That’s not hard to do unless it has a massive amount of research involved. I have a weekly column, monthly column and ghost write several blogs on a weekly basis.
This makes me not living in California a selling point.
I can imagine sites like Upwork or Demand Media limiting how many articles someone can do for a California writer AND California publisher.
It won’t lead to companies hiring more writers full time. They’ll bust a lot of people’s weekly columns to bimonthly or monthly.
We’ll get far more de facto content marketing. Instead of having a legal writer, they send a permanent staff member to interview attorneys who speak for free in exchange for a mention of the law firm. Or you get more chosen representatives for nonprofits being interviewed on a subject.
And a lot of Indian content farms cheer the decision.
