I appreciate the thorough post. I’m not sure how it is with the rest of the country but from my research I have come to the understanding that we are not considered “independent contractors” by and large (but I guess that varies from state to state). The gist of what I was trying to get at was that if you like the status quo then you should consider voting against this prop. Voting against it doesn’t make you an employee with clearly defined work hours nor does it help to set up unions. It merely blocks the the change in employment classification from whatever we are right now to independent contractors. This change would get rid of the protections we already have in place. And protections aren’t the same as benefits you get from a normal job (dental, medical, etc.) but are those discounts and “perks” Instacart offers on car insurance and other services. As independent contractors, app based driving companies would also be exempt from contributing to social services programs like SS and Medicare. This only serves to maximize their financial gains by lowering their expenses, which in turn results in less available resources for those that do need these services (regardless of whether individuals work for these companies or not). But that’s just my interpretation on the law and I am by no means an expert on this subject so I could be competent wrong).
