I'm still amazed at the passing of Assembly Bill 5 (AB 5) [1] in
California, eventually ensuring "gig economy workers are entitled to
minimum wage, workers’ compensation and other benefits." [2] If this law
becomes effective (as of January 2020), I think it constitutes a major
fork in the road.
Does somebody know the alignment of forces that made the passage of this
bill -- against the significant resistance of the companies most
affects, Uber and Lyft -- possible?
One actor was "Gig Workers Rising","a campaign supporting and educating
app and platform workers who are organizing for better wages, working
conditions and jobs." [3] It seem like three out of four of their
demands are addressed in the law.
But who else and how was it done?

Uber and Lyft executives make billions. But what about drivers?
https://www.gigworkersrising.org
Drivers are standing up to demand a fair return on the billions they
make for Uber & Lyft:
* Living wage
Uber and Lyft must pay drivers a livable hourly rate
(after expenses).
*Transparency
Clear policies on wages, tips, fare breakdowns
and deactivations.
* Benefits
Such as disability, workers comp, retirement, health care,
death benefits, and paid time off.
*Voice at work
A recognized independent worker organization, the
freedom to stand together without fear of retaliation
and a fair and transparent process for deactivations.
