"Dear Governor Gavin C. Newsom and All Members of the California State Legislature: In 2019, California Assembly Bill 5 was passed to regulate the use of independent contractors in a variety of activities. By prohibiting the use of independent contractor drivers, health care professionals, and workers in other critical areas, AB-5 is doing substantial, and avoidable, harm to the very people who now have the fewest resources and the worst alternatives available to them. We, the undersigned Ph.D. economists and political scientists, call for the immediate suspension of AB-5." More details.
