Aquent stands against Prop 22 because it denies workers their rights by willfully misclassifying them and denying crucial protections such as comprehensive benefits and fair wages.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Workers should not have to choose between independence and benefits. We believe both can work hand-in-hand. We provide our talent (our W-2 employees) with fair pay, paid sick leave, 401(k) options with an employer match, and the same healthcare benefits as our CEO. All while empowering our talent to independently grow their careers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Hear more from our CEO John Chuang about why AB5 matters and why we say \u201cNo\u201d to Proposition 22:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/aquent.com\/en-de\/news\/companies-should-not-get-a-free-pass-from-the-government\">The Boston Globe \u2013 Companies should not \u201cget a free pass from the government\u201d<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/aquent.com\/en-de\/news\/the-law-applies-to-gig-companies-too\">CheddarTV \u2013 The law applies to gig companies too<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/aquent.com\/news\/it-is-bs-that-uber-will-shut-down-says-aquent-ceo\">Yahoo! \u2013 It's BS that Uber will shut down: Aquent CEO<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/aquent.com\/en-de\/news\/california-sues-companies-over-gig-workers\">Bloomberg \u2013 California sues companies over gig workers<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/aquent.com\/en-de\/news\/benefits-for-gig-workers-can-make-you-money\">Fox Business \u2013 Benefits for gig workers can make you money<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>No on California's Prop 22;
