Many jurisdictions are adapting to the new reality in the times of a gig economy. It happens that a Californian judge just ruled Proposition 22 is unconstitutional.

We'll see what actually happens though. Still hopeful but only time will tell if this becomes actually enforced (in all likelihood it will, but it wouldn't be out of left field for it to not be enforced as well).
