Vox didn't get that escape hatch.The one word experts keep using to describe the gargantuan ongoing wildfires in the western United States is “ unprecedented.”Ĭalifornia is experiencing some of the largest fires right now. So the newspaper industry got an escape hatch. “While I personally disagree with this delay, I’m willing to allow the newspaper industry the additional year to comply if it means those delivery drivers and nearly a million other misclassified workers are provided the minimum wage, benefits and workplace rights of Assembly Bill 5,” Gonzalez said. ![]() Gonzalez said in a statement that she agreed to the changes “due to demands made in the Senate.” Management of the Los Angeles Times, as well as the paper’s editorial board, had supported that effort, and a full-page advertisement urging changes to the legislation was published in the newspaper on Tuesday.

The 180+ contractors unable to land one of the 20 jobs, Gonzalez suggested, simply don’t “want a job.” The firing of hundreds of contractors in order to hire just 20 employees, Gonzalez attempted to argue in her response, is a net positive. ![]() Gonzalez - the San Diego assemblywoman who is behind a series of left-wing laws since she came to office in 2013 and is reportedly eyeing California’s Secretary of State spot - posted a direct response to Lawson in defense of her much-maligned bill. “California, you’re breaking my heart (and taking my money).” ![]() “Today, along with literally HUNDREDS of my colleagues, I was told that I can no longer hold a paid position at SB Nation,” Lawson tweeted Monday.
