Nearly 2 million Californians out of a labor force of about 19.5 million rely on freelance and contract work for income.
Workers of California are uniting against AB5, which disproportionally harms women, especially minority women, and are demanding lawmakers reverse their error.
Under the #AB5 twitter handle, a self-identified female entrepreneur says she supports "Anyone working to repeal #AB5," and tells politicians they "Should not be able to interfere with" people's "Freedom and ability to work."
Another AB5 victim says the legislation "Didn't solve the gig problem," but instead "Torpedoed almost all freelance and consulting work in CA. #FixAB5."
It's unclear if Uber, Lyft, DoorDash, TaskRabbit, Postmates, and many other businesses that have made life more convenient for consumers, and provided incomes for workers, can survive AB5.
"Misclassifying workers as 'independent contractors' is fraud," he tweeted last week, "And it punishes our entire economy. I will empower the Department of Labor to hold employers accountable while expanding protections to 15 million more workers."
Workers could retain their freedom under a Buttigieg administration only if they are able to pass the same nearly impossible-to-pass test that California has.
