Khaled Zayyid drove for Uber as much as 80 hours a week. When he died of COVID-19 complications, his family was left without a breadwinner. They applied to the state workers’ compensation program for death benefits — and got nothing.

Gig companies have resisted complying with the law, which is why Zayyid was still a contractor at the time of his death. Uber, Lyft, DoorDash and Instacart have jointly poured $200 million into the Yes on 22 campaign to secure an exemption from AB 5.https://www.latimes.com/business/technology/story/2020-11-01/prop-22-uber-driver-covid-19-death-benefits-workers-comp …

If Prop. 22 passes, the measure would cement gig workers’ status as independent contractors. Experts say that under the Prop. 22 policy it would be more difficult for workers to secure compensation for COVID-related illness, disability or death.https://www.latimes.com/business/technology/story/2020-11-01/prop-22-uber-driver-covid-19-death-benefits-workers-comp …

Funny how this wasn't an issue until the economy shutdown and millions lost their jobs and went to be independent drivers.

All AB5 will do is make Uber limit how many hours individual drivers can work, so they do t qualify as employees. It already happened with freelance writers, and most companies stopped hiring California writers for this reason.

Stop this propaganda. Anyone who signed up to these companies knew that they would be independent contractors (aka 1099 ) and know that they have to pay for business expenses to write off later.
