When they said cradle to grave, they damned sure meant it.

so, journalists, who are impacted, could have been excluded. But the one size fits all bill is ok with you, just as long as it's conservatives that are targeted.Originally Posted by jet57
Listen, if California wanted to target just Lyft/Uberdrivers, then why throw a lasso around everyone else?

AB5 Backfire
AB5 took effect on January 1, and it’s already causing trouble. A limit on the number of articles that freelance writers could produce for one publication resulted in layoffs for some California journalists and a First Amendment lawsuit from others. Workers in more than 135 occupations claim that losing contractor status hurts them, while independent theater and arts groups are facing thousands of dollars in costs they can’t afford because they must now treat staff as employees. Lorena Gonzalez, the assemblywoman who wrote AB5, has introduced another law to remove the article cap for writers and address the status of musicians. A sign of poor legislation is the need to rewrite it immediately after it takes effect.

The best plan would have been to keep it aimed at uber and lyft. The same sort of case came up with FedEx Ground drivers who were in the same situation: the drivers won.

Right, drive Uber and Lyft out of California and drive up taxi costs there. Brilliant.
Seems to me the drivers don't like it.

Nothing is free in this world dude. Everybody pays one way or the other. It's time for uber and lyft to pay their dues instead of ripping everybody off. https://www.sfweekly.com/news/whos-k...taxi-industry/
