“California’s policies should embrace the sharing economy as a vital new resource for job-seekers. Instead, layer after layer of red tape is inhibiting companies like Uber and the thousands of Californians who utilize its services.
“So far, the California Labor Commission, the Public Utilities Commission and Democrat legislators have wrongfully fought to protect the status quo rather than support innovative new companies that put Californians to work.
“Democrat leaders have created a toxic climate for new jobs and workers and have successfully turned the American Dream into the California Nightmare.
“I call on my colleagues to stop this assault on the sharing economy and support the thousands of Californians who find work, mobility, and cost-savings through these new California-based tools. The new economy is not a fad. The PUC should get with it.”
