"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>\u003cem>Updated: 3:45 p.m.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Two national groups representing freelance writers and photographers on Tuesday filed the second legal challenge to California’s broad new labor law that aims to give wage and benefit protections to people who work as independent contractors.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While the public focus has been largely on ride-share companies such as Uber and Lyft, the lawsuit brought by the American Society of Journalists and Authors and the National Press Photographers Association says the law would unconstitutionally affect free speech and the media.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside postID='news_11773542,news_11774025,news_11769741' label='Understanding the New Independent Contractor Law']The law, AB 5, was \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11773542/state-senate-passes-ab-5-bill-that-limits-who-can-be-classified-as-contractors\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">passed by the state Legislature earlier this year\u003c/a> and is set to take effect Jan. 1. The bill makes it harder for companies to classify workers as independent contractors instead of employees, who are entitled to minimum wage and benefits such as workers' compensation. It establishes the nation's strictest test on who qualifies as an employee and could set a precedent for other states to follow.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The lawsuit filed by the Pacific Legal Foundation, a nonprofit libertarian group, challenged what it calls an “irrational and arbitrary” limit of 35 submissions each year to each media outlet.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That has “thrown our community into a panic, given that in the year 2020 digital media is a whole different beast than newspapers and journalism of the past,” said Los Angeles-based writer Maressa Brown, who founded California Freelance Writers United in September.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“You could hit 35 (submissions) in a matter of a few weeks, and we don’t feel that should require us submitting a W2, sitting in an office and tethered to a computer and under the oversight of one client,” said Brown, who likes having up to 15 clients at one time. “People are losing clients, income. Their livelihoods are under threat.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The lawsuit says the freelance restriction draws “unconstitutional content-based distinctions about who can freelance,” noting that “the government faces a heavy burden of justification when its regulations single out the press.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“First, it was the Endangered Species Act, then women on corporate boards, and now the Pacific Legal Foundation is attacking California’s landmark workplace rights law. That should come as no surprise to anyone,” the bill’s author, Democratic Assemblywoman Lorena Gonzalez of San Diego, said in a statement.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Gonzalez also responded on Twitter to criticisms from some freelance reporters and photographers. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://twitter.com/LorenaSGonzalez/status/1205310559211573249\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://twitter.com/LorenaSGonzalez/status/1205265427401601024\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Attorney General Xavier Becerra, who is also named in the lawsuit did not respond to comment.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Pacific Legal Foundation brought the lawsuit on behalf of the organizations and filed it in federal court in Los Angeles.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The two associations together have more than 650 members in California.

The bill makes it harder for companies to classify workers as independent contractors instead of employees, who are entitled to minimum wage and benefits such as workers' compensation. It establishes the nation's strictest test on who qualifies as an employee and could set a precedent for other states to follow.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The lawsuit filed by the Pacific Legal Foundation, a nonprofit libertarian group, challenged what it calls an “irrational and arbitrary” limit of 35 submissions each year to each media outlet.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That has “thrown our community into a panic, given that in the year 2020 digital media is a whole different beast than newspapers and journalism of the past,” said Los Angeles-based writer Maressa Brown, who founded California Freelance Writers United in September.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“You could hit 35 (submissions) in a matter of a few weeks, and we don’t feel that should require us submitting a W2, sitting in an office and tethered to a computer and under the oversight of one client,” said Brown, who likes having up to 15 clients at one time. “People are losing clients, income. Their livelihoods are under threat.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The lawsuit says the freelance restriction draws “unconstitutional content-based distinctions about who can freelance,” noting that “the government faces a heavy burden of justification when its regulations single out the press.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“First, it was the Endangered Species Act, then women on corporate boards, and now the Pacific Legal Foundation is attacking California’s landmark workplace rights law. That should come as no surprise to anyone,” the bill’s author, Democratic Assemblywoman Lorena Gonzalez of San Diego, said in a statement.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Gonzalez also responded on Twitter to criticisms from some freelance reporters and photographers. \u003c/p>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

"content": "\u003cp>How safe is your Uber ride? That question has dogged the company for years, as it has faced complaints from passengers and drivers alleging they have been sexually assaulted in an Uber.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Now Uber is revealing the scale of those complaints for the first time.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The company received 5,981 allegations of serious sexual assault in the U.S. over two years, according to a \u003ca href=\"https://www.uber.com/us/en/about/reports/us-safety-report/\">new report covering 2017 and 2018\u003c/a>. The claims range from unwanted touching and kissing to rape.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The U.S.-only report also covers deaths involving Uber rides. During those two years, 107 people died in crashes involving Uber cars, and 19 people were killed in physical assaults during or soon after an Uber ride.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As troubling as those statistics are, the incidents they capture are rare. People in the U.S. took 2.3 billion rides using Uber in those two years. For 99.9% of those trips, no safety incident was reported, and the serious safety problems detailed in the report were even more uncommon.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"At the scale that Uber operates, we're going to see both the good and the bad that happens in society because we're operating so many trips every single day,\" said Tony West, Uber's chief legal officer.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"One of the unfortunate but sad truths is that sexual assault, sexual violence is far more prevalent in American society than a lot of people recognize,\" he said. \"That exists in companies, it exists in classrooms, it exists on university campuses and homes. Uber's not immune to that.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>Data Paint a Mixed, and Limited, Picture\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>The report is a window into a long-standing \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/2019/11/25/782732967/uber-stripped-of-its-license-to-operate-in-london\">problem \u003c/a>for ride-hailing companies — not just Uber, but competitors around the world, including \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/2019/09/11/759899409/lyft-facing-flood-of-lawsuits-after-riders-report-they-were-sexually-attacked-by\">Lyft\u003c/a> in the U.S., Didi in China and Ola in India. The apps have come under intense scrutiny for how they screen drivers, handle complaints and remove offenders from their platforms.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>However, Uber's report doesn't present a complete picture. When it comes to sexual assaults, Uber includes what it defines as the five most severe categories: nonconsensual kissing of a nonsexual body part, attempted nonconsensual sexual penetration, nonconsensual touching of a sexual body part, nonconsensual kissing of a sexual body part and nonconsensual sexual penetration.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The report does not include other types of sexual misconduct, like masturbation, asking for sex or verbal threats of assault. Uber worked with the National Sexual Violence Resource Center and other advocacy groups to develop the report and address safety issues.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside postID=news_11789655 hero='https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2019/12/12042019_Lyft-qut-1020x680.jpg']\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The report counts car crashes and physical assaults that resulted in a death, but not those that resulted in injuries — likely far larger numbers. The company says it will release updated figures every two years.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The rate of serious sexual assault incidents per ride went down in every category between 2017 and 2018. For example, the average rate of sexual assault reports across the five categories fell 16% from one year to the next.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I feel comfortable that Uber is a very safe mode of transportation. And I think the data in this report actually indicates that as well,\" West said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But Uber also warned that rates could go up in the years to come if more people are encouraged to report sexual assault. Reporting rates for sexual violence and misconduct are notoriously low.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The sexual assault numbers in Uber's report cover a wide range of allegations. Some of the claims ended up being investigated by police and criminally prosecuted. In other cases, Uber was unable to reach the person who reported the assault for more information.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The victims were both riders and drivers. In fact, \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/2019/05/29/728005817/uber-to-start-banning-passengers-with-low-ratings\">passengers\u003c/a> were accused of sexual assault in nearly half the reports.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The most frequent reports were of unwanted touching of sexual body parts — the mouth, breasts, buttocks or genitals. Uber received 1,440 such reports in 2017 and 1,560 in 2018.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The company received 235 reports of nonconsensual sexual penetration — rape — last year and 229 such reports the year before.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Among the 19 deaths from physical assault, Uber did not break down who committed the assaults. Eight victims were riders, seven were Uber drivers and four were third parties, such as people outside the cars.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Uber considers a fatal assault as related to Uber if it involved at least one person using the app — either a rider or driver — or if it involved people paired by the Uber app and took place within 48 hours of the ride.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>Is Uber More or Less Safe Than a Taxi?\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>A question the report does not answer is how Uber's safety record compares with other forms of transportation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There are no national statistics for how many sexual assaults or deaths happen in U.S. taxis each year.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Taxis are typically regulated by individual cities, and most police departments do not track whether sexual assaults involve a particular company or type of work, said John Boit, executive vice president of the Transportation Alliance, a trade group that represents taxi and limousine companies.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[pullquote size=\"medium\" align=\"right\" citation=\"Rachel Abrams, San Francisco lawyer whose firm represents victims of sexual assault on ride-hailing apps\"]'Having a dashboard camera for these rides would, I think, prevent a substantial portion of the assaults from happening.'[/pullquote]The data that are available are hard to compare directly with Uber's report. San Francisco's transportation regulator tracks complaints about taxis, mainly through the city's 311 hotline. In 2017, for example, San Francisco received 14 reports of violence or physical altercations and four reports of accidents involving injury.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But the city does not separate out sexual assault complaints. And without knowing the total number of rides taken in San Francisco taxis in that year, it is impossible to calculate how often such incidents occur.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As for the 107 people killed in crashes involving an Uber vehicle in the two years covered by the report, that compares with 74,033 people in total killed in crashes on U.S. roads during that period, according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Uber's fatality rate per mile driven was about half the national rate, according to the NHTSA, in each year of the report.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>Weighing Safety and Privacy\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>In the past two years, Uber has introduced a number of safety features, including a \"panic button\" in its app that connects passengers and drivers to emergency services, using sensors in drivers' smartphones to detect possible crashes and performing continuous background checks of drivers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It is considering additional safety measures, including recording rides with audio or video and sharing with other ride-hailing companies the names of drivers who have been banned from its app for serious safety violations.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>These newest proposals raise questions about how Uber will balance the safety of passengers and drivers with their rights to privacy.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside postID=news_11777002,news_11773127,news_11738380 label='Related Coverage']Sharing the names of banned drivers could help prevent a driver banned for groping, for example, from simply switching over to driving for rival Lyft.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We're committed to doing that in a way that's fair and that is compliant with the law,\" West said. \"But we think it is important that if someone is not deemed to be safe on our platform that that information is shared with others.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The company already shares this information in Chicago, where local law requires ride-hailing apps to notify city officials when they ban a driver for reasons including complaints of sexual misconduct and physical assault. The city then passes those names on to other ride-hailing companies.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That could flag drivers who behave unsafely or inappropriately, even if their behavior does not violate the law. Allegations may not be corroborated the way they would be in a criminal case, however, and it is unclear how much information another company would require to ban a driver for behavior conducted while using a different app.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Uber is also testing audio recording in some cities in Latin America and video recording in Texas. It allows either drivers or passengers to initiate recordings. They can choose to send the file to Uber but cannot access or save it for themselves.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Many critics have pushed for Uber to require cameras in cars.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Having a dashboard camera for these rides would, I think, prevent a substantial portion of the assaults from happening,\" said Rachel Abrams, a lawyer in San Francisco whose firm represents victims of sexual assault on ride-hailing apps.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But rolling out such recordings more widely will require navigating privacy and notification laws that differ across states and countries.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Uber is the first ride-hailing company to publicly release its safety data. Lyft has also said it is working on a report.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the meantime, victims of sexual assault are taking their claims against Uber \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/2019/09/12/759876637/lawsuits-say-lyft-doesnt-do-enough-to-protect-women-from-predator-drivers\">and Lyft\u003c/a> to court.

That question has dogged the company for years, as it has faced complaints from passengers and drivers alleging they have been sexually assaulted in an Uber.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Now Uber is revealing the scale of those complaints for the first time.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The company received 5,981 allegations of serious sexual assault in the U.S. over two years, according to a \u003ca href=\"https://www.uber.com/us/en/about/reports/us-safety-report/\">new report covering 2017 and 2018\u003c/a>. The claims range from unwanted touching and kissing to rape.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The U.S.-only report also covers deaths involving Uber rides. During those two years, 107 people died in crashes involving Uber cars, and 19 people were killed in physical assaults during or soon after an Uber ride.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As troubling as those statistics are, the incidents they capture are rare. People in the U.S. took 2.3 billion rides using Uber in those two years. For 99.9% of those trips, no safety incident was reported, and the serious safety problems detailed in the report were even more uncommon.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"At the scale that Uber operates, we're going to see both the good and the bad that happens in society because we're operating so many trips every single day,\" said Tony West, Uber's chief legal officer.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"One of the unfortunate but sad truths is that sexual assault, sexual violence is far more prevalent in American society than a lot of people recognize,\" he said. \"That exists in companies, it exists in classrooms, it exists on university campuses and homes. Uber's not immune to that.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

The apps have come under intense scrutiny for how they screen drivers, handle complaints and remove offenders from their platforms.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>However, Uber's report doesn't present a complete picture. When it comes to sexual assaults, Uber includes what it defines as the five most severe categories: nonconsensual kissing of a nonsexual body part, attempted nonconsensual sexual penetration, nonconsensual touching of a sexual body part, nonconsensual kissing of a sexual body part and nonconsensual sexual penetration.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The report does not include other types of sexual misconduct, like masturbation, asking for sex or verbal threats of assault. Uber worked with the National Sexual Violence Resource Center and other advocacy groups to develop the report and address safety issues.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

The company says it will release updated figures every two years.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The rate of serious sexual assault incidents per ride went down in every category between 2017 and 2018. For example, the average rate of sexual assault reports across the five categories fell 16% from one year to the next.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I feel comfortable that Uber is a very safe mode of transportation. And I think the data in this report actually indicates that as well,\" West said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But Uber also warned that rates could go up in the years to come if more people are encouraged to report sexual assault. Reporting rates for sexual violence and misconduct are notoriously low.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The sexual assault numbers in Uber's report cover a wide range of allegations. Some of the claims ended up being investigated by police and criminally prosecuted. In other cases, Uber was unable to reach the person who reported the assault for more information.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The victims were both riders and drivers. In fact, \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/2019/05/29/728005817/uber-to-start-banning-passengers-with-low-ratings\">passengers\u003c/a> were accused of sexual assault in nearly half the reports.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The most frequent reports were of unwanted touching of sexual body parts — the mouth, breasts, buttocks or genitals. Uber received 1,440 such reports in 2017 and 1,560 in 2018.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The company received 235 reports of nonconsensual sexual penetration — rape — last year and 229 such reports the year before.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Among the 19 deaths from physical assault, Uber did not break down who committed the assaults. Eight victims were riders, seven were Uber drivers and four were third parties, such as people outside the cars.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Uber considers a fatal assault as related to Uber if it involved at least one person using the app — either a rider or driver — or if it involved people paired by the Uber app and took place within 48 hours of the ride.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>Is Uber More or Less Safe Than a Taxi?\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>A question the report does not answer is how Uber's safety record compares with other forms of transportation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There are no national statistics for how many sexual assaults or deaths happen in U.S. taxis each year.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Taxis are typically regulated by individual cities, and most police departments do not track whether sexual assaults involve a particular company or type of work, said John Boit, executive vice president of the Transportation Alliance, a trade group that represents taxi and limousine companies.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

"content": "\u003cp>Ever since the California Supreme Court’s “Dynamex” ruling last year set a new test for when a worker is considered an employee, gig companies have tried to exempt their drivers and keep them classified as independent contractors.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Now, after \u003ca href=\"http://www.capradio.org/articles/2019/09/10/california-senate-moves-dynamex-worker-classification-bill-forward-without-deal-for-gig-companies/\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">failing to win that exemption in the Legislature\u003c/a>, they’re turning to voters.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Uber, DoorDash and other “gig economy” companies took the first formal step toward what they’ve pledged will be at least a $90 million campaign fight Tuesday by submitting a potential November 2020 ballot measure to the state Attorney General’s Office.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We’re trying to pair independent contractor status, and the flexibility that’s inherent with it, with what we believe — and the drivers behind us believe — is a fair package of economics,” campaign spokesman Brandon Castillo said at a news conference that included Sacramento area gig economy workers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A coalition of labor unions opposed to the measure accused the gig companies of trying to “buy democracy away from drivers” and “cling” to an “exploitative business model.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The initiative promises new benefits, such as a wage floor and health care subsidies, but doesn’t include Social Security benefits or the right to unionize.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That would appear to leave wiggle room for a potential compromise with organized labor in the coming months — something the gig companies say they’re open to.

He argues the only path to fairness is to make workers like him full employees.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside tag='dynamex' label='Related Coverage']\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Drivers are saying, ‘This is poverty, we’re struggling,’ right? And then they come and they cut the pay, and then they put a nice name on it, really pretty name, fancy, right? Commit the $90 million, but they don’t tell the real story behind it,” he said. “And the real story behind it is, this is a pay cut.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The ballot measure responds to the law signed last month codifying the California Supreme Court ruling. The law, Assembly Bill 5 by Assemblywoman Lorena Gonzalez, D-San Diego, \u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/economy/2019/09/whos-in-whos-out-of-ab-5/\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">exempts some industries\u003c/a>, including doctors and hairstylists.

Under state law, initiative proponents have until late June to withdraw their ballot measure if an agreement is reached in the Legislature.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11783846\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/10/gig-economoy-november-ballot-800x600.jpg\" alt=\"Akamine Kiarie, who drives for Lyft in the Sacramento region while attending college, speaks in favor of a potential November 2020 California ballot measure backed by gig companies at a news conference on Oct. 29, 2019.\" width=\"800\" height=\"600\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-11783846\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2019/10/gig-economoy-november-ballot-800x600.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2019/10/gig-economoy-november-ballot-160x120.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2019/10/gig-economoy-november-ballot-1020x765.jpg 1020w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2019/10/gig-economoy-november-ballot-1200x900.jpg 1200w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2019/10/gig-economoy-november-ballot-1920x1440.jpg 1920w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2019/10/gig-economoy-november-ballot-1832x1374.jpg 1832w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2019/10/gig-economoy-november-ballot-1376x1032.jpg 1376w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2019/10/gig-economoy-november-ballot-1044x783.jpg 1044w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2019/10/gig-economoy-november-ballot-632x474.jpg 632w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2019/10/gig-economoy-november-ballot-536x402.jpg 536w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2019/10/gig-economoy-november-ballot.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Akamine Kiarie, who drives for Lyft in the Sacramento region while attending college, speaks in favor of\u003cbr>a potential November 2020 California ballot measure backed by gig companies at a news conference on Oct. 29, 2019. \u003ccite>(Ben Adler/Capital Public Radio)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>The narrowly tailored — and retroactive — ballot proposal would only apply to app-based ride hail and delivery drivers.
