A UCLA study published today, Worker Ownership, COVID-19, and the Future of the Gig Economy, examined the current conditions of gig work in California in the wake of the pandemic. The report also evaluated a California legislative proposal called the Cooperative Economy Act (CEA) that would introduce worker ownership into the gig economy, fundamentally restructuring the relationship between workers and platforms like Uber, Lyft, and Instacart.
