A new law in California changes the status of many Uber drivers from freelancers to full-blown workers. This law, called AB-5 has drivers in New York and New Jersey putting on their Union hats and lobbying congress in favor of similar legislation. The problem is that since the law was implemented on January 1st, companies that rely on gigs like Fiverr, Uber, and modern media companies (Zest, Planable.io, etc.) have stopped hiring Californians.
