People seem to think this is going to hurt workers, but it was gig economy workers who pushed for this law. Workers know their own conditions better than you do.


People often vote against their own interests and the fact that there were gig economy workers pushing for this does not mean they as a group want it.

Gig economy workers are not a whole. Some of them really do just want a bit of extra income on the side. That is very incompatible with this new law.


That doesn't mean they know the law or can think through the consequences. Kind of a like a genie wish situation.
