Gig workers continue the fight after the California First District Court of Appeal decision on Proposition 22 lawsuit
Voters approved Proposition 22 over two years ago after app-based ride-hailing and delivery companies, including Uber, Lyft, Instacart, and DoorDash, spent more than $200 million marketing the ballot initiative to Californians as a boon to workers and customers.
