"bio": "• I write and edit stories about how Silicon Valley power and policies shape everyday life in California. I’m also passionate about making Bay Area history and culture more accessible to a broad public. • I’ve been a journalist for most of my life, starting in high school with The Franklin Press in Los Angeles, where I grew up. While earning my first degree in English at UC Berkeley, I got my start in public radio at KALX-FM. After completing a second degree in journalism at Cal, I landed my first professional job at Marketplace, then moved on to KPCC (now LAist), and then KQED, where I hosted The California Report for more than seven years. • My reporting has appeared on NPR, The World, WBUR’s \u003ci>Here & Now\u003c/i>, and the BBC. I also guest host for KQED’s \u003ci>Forum\u003c/i>, as well as the Commonwealth Club in San Francisco. • I speak periodically on media, democracy and technology issues, and do voiceover work for documentaries and educational video projects. • Outside of the studio, you'll find me hiking Bay Area trails and whipping up Insta-ready meals in my kitchen. • I do not accept gifts, money, or favors from anyone connected to my reporting, I don't pay people for information, and I do not support or donate to political causes. • I strive to treat the people I report on with fairness, honesty, and respect. I also recognize there are often multiple sides to a story and work to verify information through multiple sources and documentation. If I get something wrong, I correct it.",

His work has appeared on Newsweek.com, Slate.com, CBSNews.com, MotherJones.com, DailyKos.com and NPR’s web site. Fiore’s political animation has appeared on CNN, Frontline, Bill Moyers Journal, Salon.com and cable and broadcast outlets across the globe.\r\n\r\nBeginning his professional life by drawing traditional political cartoons for newspapers, Fiore’s work appeared in publications ranging from the Washington Post to the Los Angeles Times. In the late 1990s, he began to experiment with animating political cartoons and, after a short stint at the San Jose Mercury News as their staff cartoonist, Fiore devoted all his energies to animation.\r\nGrowing up in California, Fiore also spent a good portion of his life in the backwoods of Idaho. It was this combination that shaped him politically. Mark majored in political science at Colorado College, where, in a perfect send-off for a cartoonist, he received his diploma in 1991 as commencement speaker Dick Cheney smiled approvingly.\r\nMark Fiore was awarded the Pulitzer Prize for political cartooning in 2010, a Robert F. Kennedy Journalism Award in 2004 and has twice received an Online Journalism Award for commentary from the Online News Association (2002, 2008). Fiore has received two awards for his work in new media from the National Cartoonists Society (2001, 2002), and in 2006 received The James Madison Freedom of Information Award from The Society of Professional Journalists.",

"content": "\u003cp>Since Uber and Lyft launched almost a decade ago, their drivers have lacked most basic worker protections, including a guaranteed minimum wage, overtime pay, workers’ compensation and unemployment insurance.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That’s because, from the onset, the two ride-hailing giants categorized drivers as independent contractors rather than employees, a tactic adopted by subsequent startups like DoorDash, Postmates and Instacart. It’s at the heart of the business model that fuels what is now called the “gig economy.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And for years, drivers and other workers in the gig economy have been fighting to be recognized as employees and have pushed to get the backing of lawmakers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On Tuesday, they scored a big victory.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>California Attorney General Xavier Becerra, joined by city attorneys in San Francisco, Los Angeles, San Diego and other jurisdictions across the state, filed a lawsuit against Uber and Lyft over their use of contractors. The suit aims to force the two companies to recognize their workers as employees under the authority of Assembly Bill 5, \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11773833/california-legislature-passes-ab-5-but-uber-says-it-might-refuse-to-follow-it\">a state law\u003c/a> that went into effect this year that significantly limits which workers can be classified as contractors.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[pullquote size=\"medium\" align=\"right\" citation=\"California Attorney General Xavier Becerra\"]‘Sometimes it takes a pandemic to shake us into realizing what [worker classification] really means and who suffers the consequences of it.’[/pullquote]In announcing the lawsuit, Becerra outlined its three goals: to stop misclassifying workers, assign penalties and seek restitution.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The litigation, he said, is based on the premise of “unfair competition” — which asserts that Uber and Lyft have an advantage over other businesses that are following the law and providing their workers with employee protections.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If the effort is successful, the two companies could be forced to pay a penalty of as much as $2,500 per driver, which would amount to billions of dollars.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“These companies are willing to take these workers’ labor as drivers,” Becerra said at a press conference Tuesday. “But they don’t want to accept the worker protections that should go with that work, as these employees should get.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In a statement sent to KQED, Lyft said, “We are looking forward to working with the Attorney General and mayors across the state to bring all the benefits of California’s innovation economy to as many workers as possible.” Uber said it would contest the suit in court.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The lack of protections for Uber and Lyft drivers has come to a head in the current pandemic. Stay-at-home orders have left hundreds of thousands of ride-hail drivers in California with little to no work, forcing them to apply for unemployment benefits. But because of their status as contractors, they have never paid into the state’s unemployment fund. And that means \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11812496/uber-and-lyft-arent-paying-for-drivers-unemployment-you-are-confirms-newsom\" rel=\"noopener\">the state is currently covering the cost\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Becerra said the lawsuit has been in the works for months, but admits that the pandemic sped up the process. Of worker misclassification, he said, “Sometimes it takes a pandemic to shake us into realizing what that really means and who suffers the consequences of it.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The lawsuit is another step in a years-long legal battle over gig worker classification in California, one that has involved the state’s Supreme Court, Legislature and now, its executive branch.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But workers have been arguing that they are employees, not contractors, since the inception of Uber and Lyft. For years, the companies have used arbitration clauses in their contracts to resolve any worker claims behind closed doors.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But in 2018, the state Supreme Court issued a ruling, known as “Dynamex,” making it harder for companies to classify their workers as contractors. AB 5 codified that ruling.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Since the law took effect in January, however, many gig companies have fought in court against the law’s application and continued to treat their workers as contractors.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Drivers like Al Aloudi, who works for Uber and Lyft in the Bay Area, are fed up with how long it has taken the government to recognize what he says has been hurting workers for nearly a decade. Soon after he began driving for Uber and Lyft in 2013, Aloudi began organizing other drivers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside label=\"related coverage\" tag=\"ab-5\"]“We know always that Uber and Lyft don’t obey the law,” Aloudi said. “They move so fast. The government is always going slowly.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Aloudi said he is happy that the state is finally taking action on AB 5, albeit five months after it became law. He hopes this lawsuit compels the companies to finally start paying for basic worker protections. But he said he’s also concerned it will get snared in the court system and drag on at a time when so many drivers desperately need protections and benefits.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Uber and Lyft have a giant army of attorneys,” Aloudi said. “I worry this could last for months or years. … Maybe I won’t see AB 5 in my lifetime. But I hope my kids at least do.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Becerra and city attorneys said they were more hopeful about a speedy resolution. And although no timeframe has yet been laid out, they are seeking an injunction to immediately halt worker misclassification. \u003ca href=\"https://www.sfcityattorney.org/wp-content/uploads/2020/05/2020-05-05-Complaint-Filed.pdf\">A full copy of the lawsuit is available here.\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Although the litigation only targets Uber and Lyft, city attorneys on Tuesday suggested it could impact the entire gig economy.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“This lawsuit is going to have a ripple effect that radiates out through the gig economy,” Los Angeles City Attorney Mike Feuer said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Often the language we use here gets kind of sanitized,” Feuer added. “Misclassification means cheating. We are here to assure that no company gets an unfair advantage, particularly at the expense of the workers they employ and the taxpayers on whom all of us rely.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>San Francisco City Attorney Dennis Herrera said he hoped the lawsuit would help curb a disturbing trend in businesses, particularly those in Silicon Valley.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Hopefully we are going to bring an end … to the mindset that has developed over the last 10 years or so that you don’t have to ask permission, you just need to ask for forgiveness,” Herrera said. “Responsible business leaders know that there’s a way to conduct yourself and a way not to. Folks like us shouldn’t be forced to have to bring repetitive actions to make sure companies are adhering to the law and acting in a responsible way.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n",

"content": "\u003cp>After nearly two months of applications and appeals, some Uber and Lyft drivers are getting unemployment insurance. But Lyft and Uber have not paid a cent into the state’s unemployment fund because the gig companies have continued to classify their drivers as contractors. That means California is going to pay the bill.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Lyft and Uber have claimed to have over 500,000 drivers in California. Depending on how long the pandemic lasts, covering the tab on their unemployment could cost the state hundreds of millions or even more than a billion dollars.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Over the last few weeks, Uber and Lyft \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11812496/uber-and-lyft-arent-paying-for-drivers-unemployment-you-are-confirms-newsom\">drivers have been getting conflicting advice about whether to apply for pandemic unemployment assistance (PUA) for independent contractors, or unemployment insurance (UI) for employees.\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>PUA is funded by the federal government, while UI is a state program that employers pay into. Since there is no legal question over classification, getting PUA is less complicated, but UI offers almost certainly more money and potentially more long-term security.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Aside from the monetary implications, there’s a looming legal question. In January, California \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11773942/the-gig-is-up-california-lawmakers-pass-protections-for-gig-workers\">Assembly Bill 5\u003c/a> became law, which makes it harder for companies to classify workers as contractors and avoid paying for things like workers’ compensation or unemployment insurance. But even with AB 5, Lyft and Uber have continued to classify their workers as contractors and avoid paying into the state’s unemployment fund.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Labor advocates worry that if drivers opt for PUA, which is a more straightforward process than getting UI, it will lend credence to the argument Uber and Lyft are making that their workers are indeed contractors, not employees.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Drivers are stuck in the middle of it all. It has been two months already with little to no work — and there’s no prospect of that changing anytime soon.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>\u003cstrong>Caught in the Middle\u003c/strong>\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>Maia Wagle, a Los Angeles-based Lyft driver, has been trying to get unemployment insurance since early March.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She has filled out numerous online forms, sent in documents and called the agency multiple times a day. Late last week, she finally got a hold of someone at California’s Employment Development Department (EDD).\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[pullquote size=\"medium\" align=\"right\" citation=\"Maia Wagle, a Los Angeles-based Lyft driver\"]‘What am I going to do? I have to pay rent. I have to pay bills. I am just swimming here. So I am just going to take the bone that I am thrown. ‘[/pullquote]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Wagle said the woman on the phone, after looking at her application, said, “Oh well you should just do PUA, it will be faster.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Wagle disagreed. “I said, ‘No, like, I really do qualify for unemployment insurance under AB 5,’ ” she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Wagle went back and forth with the woman on the phone. “Then finally she says, ‘Listen, you want my advice, just apply for the PUA. It’s going to take time. What are you going to do? Are you going to get a lawyer, try to like fight your case for you?’ ”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There are numerous reasons drivers like Wagle want state unemployment insurance instead of PUA.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>First, it’s almost certainly more money. UI is awarded based on gross income, how much total income you bring in before expenses. PUA is calculated on net earnings, what you earn after all expenses are deducted. In both case, higher earnings equal more benefits. Drivers have tons of expenses — gas, wear and tear on their car, phone bills — meaning their gross is much higher than their net earnings, which means they would earn more money through UI instead of PUA.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Second, there’s concern over how long the PUA funding will last compared to UI benefits. Both are set at 39 weeks right now, but it would be up to the federal government to extend PUA and up to California to extend UI. Drivers worry that if the pandemic continues, the federal government will be less likely than California to extend the assistance.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There’s also a question of who pays for the benefits. UI is covered in part by employers, and PUA money is coming from the federal government. Wagel considers herself a Lyft employee, so she says it is only fair that her employer pays some of the cost instead of federal tax payers. Since Lyft and Uber haven’t paid into the unemployment fund yet, the state would cover the costs, but it would be known that the companies owe California that money.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For these reasons, Wagel has been resisting the temptation of applying for PUA and fighting to get UI. But it’s been a hard fight.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Wagle desperately needs the money. She’s been without work for almost two months. And after all this time fighting to get UI, she’s worn down. The phone call with the woman at the EDD was the last straw.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I just caved,” Wagle said. “As soon as I got off the phone with her I was like, aw fuck it. I am just going to go apply for this PUA. What am I going to do? I have to pay rent. I have to pay bills. I am just swimming here. So I am just going to take the bone that I am thrown. It’s still not right. It’s not right.”\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>\u003cstrong>Persistence and Luck\u003c/strong>\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>While Wagle finally settled for PUA, other drivers have actually gotten through and received UI. It has taken a lot of persistence, and what some drivers say feels like luck.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>To get UI, a driver has to apply, get told they qualify for zero dollars because their employer did not report earnings or contribute to the fund, then appeal that finding, and finally go through an audit where they have to prove to a representative of the EDD how much they earned and that they should be classified as an employee, not a contractor.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Numerous drivers have posted on social media about getting UI. KQED spoke with one driver in Daly City who had gone through this whole process and who doesn’t want to use his name for fear of Uber kicking him off the app. He says his trick was not waiting for any kind of confirmation from the EDD, but instead filling out the online form and then sending a package with all of his documentation by certified mail.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He sent that package a month ago and then he says he just waited and prayed. Then, last week, he got a call from an EDD auditor. She asked him a few questions, and then said he was approved. He was watching online as fellow drivers were filling out online forms, being put on hold for hours when they called and getting nowhere. He said it seemed like a miracle that his claim went through.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The driver in Daly City says he is getting the max in state benefits: $450 a week. He is so happy to have finally gotten some income. He has a family of five to support. But he didn’t want to give up and settle for PUA instead of UI because he didn’t want federal taxpayers to contribute to his unemployment when Uber and Lyft weren’t.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“With the AB 5, we’re entitled to get the normal UI with the corporations of Uber-Lyft helping,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>\u003cstrong>Conflicting Advice\u003c/strong>\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>A number of drivers KQED spoke with complained about getting conflicting information from the EDD, either by phone or on the website, about what to apply for and how. The EDD did not respond to a request for comment.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Carole Vigne is a senior staff attorney at Legal Aid at Work, a nonprofit that is helping drivers get UI. She says it is disappointing that a EDD representative would tell a driver to apply for PUA instead of UI.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Under California law,” she said, “misclassified independent contractors or gig workers all should be on unemployment insurance.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Vigne said while it is right for drivers to apply for UI, the state is losing money by covering Uber and Lyft’s bills.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Eventually when this calms down,” Vigne said, “we anticipate that the state will go after these companies who haven’t paid into the fund, who haven’t been reporting earnings on behalf of workers so that the fund could be paid back.”\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>\u003cstrong>Years of Legal Battle\u003c/strong>\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>When the pandemic hit, Uber and Lyft had already been battling for years to continue classifying their workers as contractors. The companies had used the arbitration clauses in their contracts to settle countless legal disputes with workers over classification individually and behind closed doors.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside tag=\"ab5\" label=\"more on ab 5\"]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Then in 2018, the California Supreme Court issued \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11718822/tech-labor-and-newsom-search-for-common-ground-on-the-future-of-gig-workers\">a landmark ruling\u003c/a> that made it much harder for companies to classify their workers as contractors. The state Legislature codified that ruling into law with AB 5. The bill’s author, Assemblywoman Lorena Gonzalez, D-San Diego, has repeatedly said gig companies classifying workers as contractors is exactly the kind of labor arrangements the law was designed to stop.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When AB 5 passed on Jan. 1, many drivers thought they would finally become employees and get protections like workers compensation, guaranteed minimum wage and unemployment insurance. But instead, Uber, Lyft and other gig companies continued doing business as usual.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Last fall, as soon as AB 5 garnered enough votes to pass, \u003ca href=\"https://www.sandiegouniontribune.com/business/retail/story/2019-09-13/instacart-not-uber-is-first-target-in-san-diego-gig-economy-lawsuit\">the city attorney in San Diego filed a lawsuit against Instacart\u003c/a>, but that case is still snarled in the legal system.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The state’s attorney general, Xavier Becerra, has been far more reticent. He has not publicly stated intent to pursue the gig companies on AB 5, and there has been no indication from Newsom’s office if he backs such a move. Newsom’s office did not provide a comment by the time of publication.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When AB 5 became law, gig companies braced for enforcement. In early February, a source inside Lyft told KQED in a conversation on background information for another story that they were surprised the state had not already come after them over AB 5.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Meanwhile, the gig companies have been collaborating to nullify the new law and continue classifying their workers as contractors. \u003ca href=\"https://www.sfchronicle.com/business/article/Uber-Lyft-DoorDash-campaign-for-ballot-15090479.php\">Several companies, including Uber, Lyft and DoorDash, have poured $110 million\u003c/a> into a ballot initiative that would exempt them from AB 5.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This was where everything stood in late February. Then the pandemic hit and brought on the scenario that labor advocates have been warning about for years: Business has plummeted. The hundreds of thousands of Uber and Lyft drivers in the state now have extremely limited or no work, and there’s no money for them in the state unemployment fund.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>\u003cstrong>An Appealing Case\u003c/strong>\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>Every Lyft and Uber driver I have interviewed since January has asked me the same thing: If AB 5 is law, then why I am not an employee? And then the follow-up question is: Why hasn’t California started going after gig companies to sort this all out?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>According to David Levine, a professor of law at UC Hastings, if you set aside issues about politics and power, there are two big legal reasons why the state may have been hesitant to go after Uber and Lyft. The first has to do with precedent and the second is legal resources.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Levine says there is a danger in the state attorney general or a local district attorney moving too fast and blowing the case. “If you are going to go up against companies this large, you have to do it the right way,” Levine said. “You don’t want a bad precedent because the litigation wasn’t handled correctly.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside tag=\"coronavirus\" label=\"related coverage\"]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That gets to the second point: power. Levine said these companies are so large that they could intimidate anyone who is trying to take them to court. Uber and Lyft have billions of dollars in cash reserves to pay for legal fees. The companies could “unleash their assault troops of lawyers” and bury a state or local agency in paper, Levine said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But that should not be a reason to hold back, Levine said. “The state’s AG has resources to do this,” he said, adding that government entities are often underfunded when it comes to battles with large corporations. “There’s nothing different here.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While the pandemic could make organizing a big case difficult, Levine said the fact that California is directly paying unemployment for Uber and Lyft is incentivizing the state to sort this out. It also, he said, gives the state “a very appealing way” to frame the case: Why is California shelling out money to pay for drivers who are out of work, while Lyft and Uber haven’t paid a dime into the unemployment fund?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If the state doesn’t go after Uber and Lyft, it could be on the hook for a lot of money — money it doesn’t have, as California has already started borrowing money from the federal government to pay unemployment. It is approved to draw from the federal government as much as $10 billion by the end of July.\u003c/p>\n\n",

Depending on how long the pandemic lasts, covering the tab on their unemployment could cost the state hundreds of millions or even more than a billion dollars.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Over the last few weeks, Uber and Lyft \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11812496/uber-and-lyft-arent-paying-for-drivers-unemployment-you-are-confirms-newsom\">drivers have been getting conflicting advice about whether to apply for pandemic unemployment assistance (PUA) for independent contractors, or unemployment insurance (UI) for employees.\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>PUA is funded by the federal government, while UI is a state program that employers pay into. Since there is no legal question over classification, getting PUA is less complicated, but UI offers almost certainly more money and potentially more long-term security.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Aside from the monetary implications, there’s a looming legal question. In January, California \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11773942/the-gig-is-up-california-lawmakers-pass-protections-for-gig-workers\">Assembly Bill 5\u003c/a> became law, which makes it harder for companies to classify workers as contractors and avoid paying for things like workers’ compensation or unemployment insurance. But even with AB 5, Lyft and Uber have continued to classify their workers as contractors and avoid paying into the state’s unemployment fund.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

It’s going to take time. What are you going to do? Are you going to get a lawyer, try to like fight your case for you?’ ”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There are numerous reasons drivers like Wagle want state unemployment insurance instead of PUA.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>First, it’s almost certainly more money. UI is awarded based on gross income, how much total income you bring in before expenses. PUA is calculated on net earnings, what you earn after all expenses are deducted. In both case, higher earnings equal more benefits. Drivers have tons of expenses — gas, wear and tear on their car, phone bills — meaning their gross is much higher than their net earnings, which means they would earn more money through UI instead of PUA.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Second, there’s concern over how long the PUA funding will last compared to UI benefits. Both are set at 39 weeks right now, but it would be up to the federal government to extend PUA and up to California to extend UI. Drivers worry that if the pandemic continues, the federal government will be less likely than California to extend the assistance.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There’s also a question of who pays for the benefits. UI is covered in part by employers, and PUA money is coming from the federal government. Wagel considers herself a Lyft employee, so she says it is only fair that her employer pays some of the cost instead of federal tax payers. Since Lyft and Uber haven’t paid into the unemployment fund yet, the state would cover the costs, but it would be known that the companies owe California that money.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For these reasons, Wagel has been resisting the temptation of applying for PUA and fighting to get UI. But it’s been a hard fight.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Wagle desperately needs the money. She’s been without work for almost two months. And after all this time fighting to get UI, she’s worn down. The phone call with the woman at the EDD was the last straw.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I just caved,” Wagle said. “As soon as I got off the phone with her I was like, aw fuck it. I am just going to go apply for this PUA. What am I going to do? I have to pay rent. I have to pay bills. I am just swimming here. So I am just going to take the bone that I am thrown. It’s still not right. It’s not right.”\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>\u003cstrong>Persistence and Luck\u003c/strong>\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>While Wagle finally settled for PUA, other drivers have actually gotten through and received UI. It has taken a lot of persistence, and what some drivers say feels like luck.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>To get UI, a driver has to apply, get told they qualify for zero dollars because their employer did not report earnings or contribute to the fund, then appeal that finding, and finally go through an audit where they have to prove to a representative of the EDD how much they earned and that they should be classified as an employee, not a contractor.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Numerous drivers have posted on social media about getting UI. KQED spoke with one driver in Daly City who had gone through this whole process and who doesn’t want to use his name for fear of Uber kicking him off the app. He says his trick was not waiting for any kind of confirmation from the EDD, but instead filling out the online form and then sending a package with all of his documentation by certified mail.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He sent that package a month ago and then he says he just waited and prayed. Then, last week, he got a call from an EDD auditor. She asked him a few questions, and then said he was approved. He was watching online as fellow drivers were filling out online forms, being put on hold for hours when they called and getting nowhere. He said it seemed like a miracle that his claim went through.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The driver in Daly City says he is getting the max in state benefits: $450 a week. He is so happy to have finally gotten some income. He has a family of five to support. But he didn’t want to give up and settle for PUA instead of UI because he didn’t want federal taxpayers to contribute to his unemployment when Uber and Lyft weren’t.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“With the AB 5, we’re entitled to get the normal UI with the corporations of Uber-Lyft helping,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>\u003cstrong>Conflicting Advice\u003c/strong>\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>A number of drivers KQED spoke with complained about getting conflicting information from the EDD, either by phone or on the website, about what to apply for and how. The EDD did not respond to a request for comment.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Carole Vigne is a senior staff attorney at Legal Aid at Work, a nonprofit that is helping drivers get UI. She says it is disappointing that a EDD representative would tell a driver to apply for PUA instead of UI.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Under California law,” she said, “misclassified independent contractors or gig workers all should be on unemployment insurance.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Vigne said while it is right for drivers to apply for UI, the state is losing money by covering Uber and Lyft’s bills.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Eventually when this calms down,” Vigne said, “we anticipate that the state will go after these companies who haven’t paid into the fund, who haven’t been reporting earnings on behalf of workers so that the fund could be paid back.”\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>\u003cstrong>Years of Legal Battle\u003c/strong>\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>When the pandemic hit, Uber and Lyft had already been battling for years to continue classifying their workers as contractors. The companies had used the arbitration clauses in their contracts to settle countless legal disputes with workers over classification individually and behind closed doors.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

The state Legislature codified that ruling into law with AB 5. The bill’s author, Assemblywoman Lorena Gonzalez, D-San Diego, has repeatedly said gig companies classifying workers as contractors is exactly the kind of labor arrangements the law was designed to stop.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When AB 5 passed on Jan. 1, many drivers thought they would finally become employees and get protections like workers compensation, guaranteed minimum wage and unemployment insurance. But instead, Uber, Lyft and other gig companies continued doing business as usual.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Last fall, as soon as AB 5 garnered enough votes to pass, \u003ca href=\"https://www.sandiegouniontribune.com/business/retail/story/2019-09-13/instacart-not-uber-is-first-target-in-san-diego-gig-economy-lawsuit\">the city attorney in San Diego filed a lawsuit against Instacart\u003c/a>, but that case is still snarled in the legal system.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The state’s attorney general, Xavier Becerra, has been far more reticent. He has not publicly stated intent to pursue the gig companies on AB 5, and there has been no indication from Newsom’s office if he backs such a move. Newsom’s office did not provide a comment by the time of publication.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When AB 5 became law, gig companies braced for enforcement. In early February, a source inside Lyft told KQED in a conversation on background information for another story that they were surprised the state had not already come after them over AB 5.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Meanwhile, the gig companies have been collaborating to nullify the new law and continue classifying their workers as contractors. \u003ca href=\"https://www.sfchronicle.com/business/article/Uber-Lyft-DoorDash-campaign-for-ballot-15090479.php\">Several companies, including Uber, Lyft and DoorDash, have poured $110 million\u003c/a> into a ballot initiative that would exempt them from AB 5.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This was where everything stood in late February. Then the pandemic hit and brought on the scenario that labor advocates have been warning about for years: Business has plummeted. The hundreds of thousands of Uber and Lyft drivers in the state now have extremely limited or no work, and there’s no money for them in the state unemployment fund.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>\u003cstrong>An Appealing Case\u003c/strong>\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>Every Lyft and Uber driver I have interviewed since January has asked me the same thing: If AB 5 is law, then why I am not an employee? And then the follow-up question is: Why hasn’t California started going after gig companies to sort this all out?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>According to David Levine, a professor of law at UC Hastings, if you set aside issues about politics and power, there are two big legal reasons why the state may have been hesitant to go after Uber and Lyft. The first has to do with precedent and the second is legal resources.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Levine says there is a danger in the state attorney general or a local district attorney moving too fast and blowing the case. “If you are going to go up against companies this large, you have to do it the right way,” Levine said. “You don’t want a bad precedent because the litigation wasn’t handled correctly.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Levine said these companies are so large that they could intimidate anyone who is trying to take them to court. Uber and Lyft have billions of dollars in cash reserves to pay for legal fees. The companies could “unleash their assault troops of lawyers” and bury a state or local agency in paper, Levine said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But that should not be a reason to hold back, Levine said. “The state’s AG has resources to do this,” he said, adding that government entities are often underfunded when it comes to battles with large corporations. “There’s nothing different here.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While the pandemic could make organizing a big case difficult, Levine said the fact that California is directly paying unemployment for Uber and Lyft is incentivizing the state to sort this out. It also, he said, gives the state “a very appealing way” to frame the case: Why is California shelling out money to pay for drivers who are out of work, while Lyft and Uber haven’t paid a dime into the unemployment fund?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

"content": "\u003cp>Gov. Gavin Newsom and the Employment Development Department are giving Uber, Lyft and other gig companies what they hoped for: unemployment coverage for drivers paid by federal taxpayers through the Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security (CARES) Act, instead of state unemployment funds.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Since the coronavirus hit, there has been mass confusion over how Lyft and Uber drivers, as well as other gig workers, might qualify for unemployment benefits — who should pay, and how they should file.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Julie Su, secretary of the California Labor and Workforce Development Agency, released a statement on April 14 saying that the department was creating a new website for independent contractors to apply for the federal Pandemic Unemployment Insurance (PUA). According to Su, the website is scheduled to open in two weeks and deliver PUA benefits in 24 to 48 hours.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In a press release on April 15, Newsom mentioned the new website for contractors and gig workers. He said, “Many Californians are one paycheck away from losing their homes or from being able to put food on their tables, and COVID-19 has only made these challenges worse.
