Why aren't other industries up in arms about this? I work for Intel and we have a ton of contractors, so does Google. Under 'A' of the 'ABC' test, it seems to me that most contractors for these companies would now be employees.



I'm not familiar with the details of the bill, but in this letter from the uber CLO it mentions:

> due to eleventh-hour amendments to the bill, many industries are now exempt from the new ABC test that AB5 will codify into state law

Anyone have information on the exemptions added to the bill, specifically if it exempts most of the big tech companies?


The bill specifically excepts a bunch of professions (doctors, lawyers, engineers...) Secondly the contractors for most of these Intel/Google, etc are employed by someone else.


Aren't most contractors for major tech companies employees of another company though? This specifically refers to independent contractors.
