In his inaugural State of the State address Tuesday, Gov. Gavin Newsom called for “a new modern compact for California's changing workforce” that will address technology's impact on labor.
Newsom, addressing a joint legislative session in Sacramento, said his administration will create a commission of labor and business leaders charged with developing ideas to “expand worker opportunity” without hurting “innovation or flexibility.” His office did not immediately name the commission's members or say when it will convene.
“This, respectfully, is much bigger than Dynamex,” Newsom said, referring to the 2018 California Supreme Court decision that makes it tougher for companies to classify workers as independent contractors.
