“AB5—The CA ‘Gig’ Law’s Status” Sr. Fellow Bill Evers appears on the Phil Cowan show on AM1380 KTKZ in Sacramento
Posted: Fri. June 26, 2020, 11:32am PT

Sr. Fellow Bill Evers, director of Independent Institute's Open Letter to Suspend AB5, talks with guest host Katy Grimes about the latest news on California's AB5. The law took effect during the pandemic and requires freelance "gig" workers to become employees of companies instead of remaining independent contractors. Various exemptions have been granted but Uber and Lyft drivers and other delivery drivers will be forced to give up their independence when determining where and when they work. With unemployment soaring during the pandemic, drivers are needed more than ever to fill essential tasks while people shelter in place. Evers discusses other occupations affected by the law, as well as a ballot initiatives and lawsuits which seek to undue AB5 and challenge its constitutionality.

But app-based ride share companies say trying to force drivers to give up their independence 100 days before the election threatens to put a million more people out of work at the worst possible time.

George Floyd and the Future of Police Misconduct | Samuel R. Staley and Graham H. Walker
Posted: Wed. June 17, 2020, 3:38pm PT

The death of George Floyd at the hands of a police officer with a history of excessive force complaints has spurred protests, demonstrations, and riots across the nation.
