Californians on Tuesday passed Proposition 22 to allow companies like Uber and Lyft to classify their drivers as independent contractors. Prop 22, however, does provide drivers with some benefits, including minimum pay rates, health-care subsidies and accident insurance. And so what they're getting from this Proposition 22 is not enough to actually give them a full benefit, is it? But the other thing I would want to point out is without Prop 22, Lyft and Uber were threatening to shut down in California. So I'm upset that we even have to have this conversation, that Prop 22 had to exist.
