"A California judge on Friday ruled that a 2020 ballot measure exempting rideshare and food delivery drivers from a state labor law is unconstitutional because it infringes on the Legislature’s power to set workplace standards."

Now, how much did Uber and Lyft pump into that campaign? Some matter of hundreds of millions, wasn't it? Ah yes:
"Proposition 22 is on track to become the most well-funded ballot initiative in California history.
It has already drawn about $200 million, most of it on the pro side. As of 10 days before the election, the anti-side had around $19 million, coming mainly from labor organizations. The pro-side has over $199 million coming from gig companies. As of the beginning of October, Uber had contributed over $50 million; Lyft, $48 million; DoorDash, $47 million; InstaCart, $28 million; and Postmates, $11 million."

Funny how these companies can find that kind of money when it *really* matters. (To them)
