    Californians are so fucking stupid.

    A California appeals court reversed most of a ruling invalidating
    Proposition 22, the state’s 2020 voter-approved gig economy law allowing
    giant ride-hailing and delivery companies to classify their workers as independent contractors rather than employees.

    The 1st District Court of Appeal determined Proposition 22 should stand, disagreeing with a 2021 ruling finding that central provisions of the law conflicted with the state Constitution, rendering the law unenforceable,
    and tossing it out in its entirety.

    However, the appeals court struck down some provisions of the laws that it deemed had unduly constrained the California Legislature’s authority.

    The court found that the ballot measure had improperly defined what
    actions constitute an amendment to Proposition 22, in violation of the
    state Constitution’s separation of powers principles. The court severed provisions of Proposition 22 restricting the California Legislature’s
    ability to authorize collective bargaining over drivers’ compensation, benefits, or working conditions and create rules singling out or otherwise putting “unequal regulatory burdens” upon app-based drivers.

    The group of companies that backed Proposition 22, called the Protect App- based Drivers & Services coalition, celebrated the ruling as a “historic victory for the nearly 1.4 million drivers who rely on the independence
    and flexibility of app-based work to earn income, and for the integrity of California’s initiative system.”
