Rideshare Rodeo Podcast (episode 488):
California’s AB5, Prop 22, and AB1340, which aim to redefine gig workers’ status, with AB5’s 2019 passage sparking lawsuits from Uber and Lyft over driver classification.

AB1340, currently under review in 2025, proposes labor relations changes for gig drivers, reflecting ongoing legislative tension.
