*The UC Berkeley Labor Center estimates that loopholes in the initiative leave Uber and Lyft drivers with a pay guarantee that is equivalent of a wage of $5.64 per hour, far less than the 120% earnings guarantee provided by the initiative and the $13 minimum wage they would be guaranteed as employees under California law. See Ken Jacobs and Michael Reich, “The Uber/Lyft Ballot Initiative Guarantees only $5.64 an Hour,” UC Berkeley Labor Center blog, October 31, 2019.
