California voters in 2020 adopted a ballot initiative — Proposition 22 — that was considered critical for gig-economy companies like Lyft, Uber and DoorDash. The rule exempted app-based drivers from the state’s strict worker classification laws. But now, the California Supreme Court has heard arguments in a case that threatens to strike it down. What is this legal fight about, who is likely to win, and when will it play out? In this episode of the Votes and Verdicts podcast, Bloomberg Intelligence litigation analyst Matt Schettenhelm discusses the issue with BI litigation analyst Jennifer Rie.
