Although California's legislation regarding the status of gig-workers seems cemented for the foreseeable future, recent oversees rulings may impact the United States in two ways: precedent and expansion. In states that have not yet decided on the matter, a ruling such as the one by the British Supreme court may shape the public sentiment needed to pass legislation that would allow gig-workers to operate as independent contractors. Additionally, many foreign companies operating under this model now worry that the decision by Britain's Supreme Court has stifled their ability to expand and offer new services to overseas consumers. For example, Sacha Michaud, CEO of delivery app Glovo was planning on expanding his company's operations to the US in the near future. However, after the ruling he expressed his concerns that the stricter labor laws will "severely limit flexibility" and "have a negative impact on our operations, stifling our geographical expansion to smaller towns and cities, and the impact of that will be felt by local, independent SMEs that aren’t able to offer their own delivery services.” The push to classify gig-workers as independent contractors has extended well beyond the borders of our country. Only time will tell if foreign rulings influence the sentiment of US voters or stifle the diversity of foreign goods and services offered here.
