Prop. 22 promised improved pay and benefits for California gig workers. But when companies fail to deliver, the state isn’t doing much to help push back.

Almost 30 years ago Californians passed Proposition 187, a ballot measure that denied public benefits to undocumented immigrants. This year, a new state law took effect offering government-subsidized health insurance to the same population.

More than half a million California health care workers are expected to see a pay increase in January thanks to a law raising the minimum wage for their industry.

The new law didn’t fulfill promises of change, some say. Now the measure is starting to having ripple effects across the state.
