A California appeals court halted the injunction that would have required Lyft and Uber to classify their drivers by as employees by August 20th. Instead, voters will decide whether ride share drivers and other gig economy workers qualify as employees when they vote on Proposition 22 this November. Proposition 22 would give gig workers guaranteed pay equal to 120% of minimum wage; 30 cents per mile compensation; health care subsidies on a sliding scale, accident and injury insurance, anti-discrimination and sexual harassment protections for drivers and criminal background checks of app-based drivers. Uber and Lyft say that reclassification would raise prices for customers and increase wait times if they have to reduce the number of drivers.
