California judge rules Prop 22 unconstitutional, dealing blow to gig worker initiative backed by Uber and Lyft
, Alameda County Superior Court Judge Frank Roesch ruled Friday that Proposition 22, a measure that allowed gig companies to classify their app-based drivers as independent contractors rather than employees, is unconstitutional.
Roesch also found that Prop 22's ban on workers' ability to collectively bargain violated California's requirement that ballot measures be limited to a single subject with provisions related to that subject. Geoff Vetter, spokesperson for the Protect App-Based Drivers & Services Coalition , a political action committee organized by gig companies to support the ballot initiative, said an appeal would be filed immediately to stay the decision.
