This year, Californians will vote on a ballot measure to allow companies like Uber and DoorDash to classify drivers as independent contractors instead of employees, a vote with major implications for gig economy workers across the country.

The measure would partially repeal a new California law that classifies such drivers as employees instead of contractors, giving them access to benefits like company-sponsored healthcare and paid time off.
