    The California-based company says it could not comply with House Bill 1291 and the measure would pose too big a legal risk. It has never pulled out of a state before.

        Companies play the threat game all the time. Just go, so a local startup that treats people better can take over.

      Good. The world will be a lot better without companies openly being allowed to shaft “contractors”, “contributors” – whatever the hell they want to call the people who should be classified as employees.

      That would be glorious. One down, 49 to go, and the District of Columbia.
