Episode 97: How Will Election Results Impact Our Delivery Businesses?
Manage episode 312661043 series 3240877
Okay, here's what we know so far:
Prop 22 in California passed.
Joe Biden looks like he'll be president.
The Senate is going to be close - maybe slight control for the Republicans.

The big deal in these elections boils down to whether we can continue to be independent contractors - both in California and nationwide.
But what if something non-political took away your ability to deliver? What kind of safety net do you have? Check out Kover - they provide income protection benefits for independent contractors in the Gig Economy.

******************
So the elections are done (okay, some of the counting isn't)
What does that mean for us?
Gig companies can continue to use contractors in California, but I believe that provisions in Prop 22 could put them at risk for a misclassification ruling under the IRS or Department of Labor.
Joe Biden is pro AB5 type legislation nationally, but balance of power in the Senate will probably keep that from happening.
Biden will probably appoint more labor friendly leadership at Department of Labor which could have an impact.
As long as you can be in charge, be in charge. If things are on their way to changing, use this time to get ready for that change.
