SB Nation: Thank You California

Hundreds of freelance writers in California got very bad news just ahead of Christmas when Vox Media informed them that they would be losing their jobs because of a new "gig economy" law intended to target Uber and Lyft.

This is what happens when you ram feel good legislation through without actually planning anything out

Vox actually seems like the kind of place that would have wrote an article supporting the gig worker law. I laugh at their ignorance.

What is the purpose of limiting contractors to 35 articles.. Is the intent some type of blackmail intended to force company’s to hire these individuals full-time? Government at its finest..

You’d be right

Gig workers’ win in California is a victory for workers everywhere

well done Golfer.

Don't tweet that though, the Thought Police in Silicon Valley really despise salient points and counter-points against the white-people-loathing, illegal-alien-adoring, Deranged Left

Yep.

It will actually effect our company in a somewhat significant way, as we will have to likely let some people go or try to incorporate them into payroll.

I said it back when it came down - typical CA...absolutely no thought given to the majority they are fricking by trying to put the screws to a minority.

There's a reason Vox doesn't allow comments on their articles.

It's going to frick a lot of people over.

A portion of the workers at Silicon Valley are sub contractors.

People who make a living playing music are independent contractors, etc.

They only did this, to frick over lyft and uber. Just think, many of the morons who voted these idiot politicians into office will be moving to a city near you and voting the same type of tard into office in your town.

When they bolt to get away from this type of shite, they continue to vote for the same clowns and clown agendas.
