Prop 22 was upheld by the California Supreme Court in July 2024, keeping 1.4 million California gig workers classified as independent contractors — no minimum wage, no overtime, no benefits, no NLRA protection. AB5 codified misclassification standards but enforcement is uneven and gig platforms continue misclassifying nationally. Amazon was fined €32M by French regulators for monitoring toilet-break duration and scan-rate deviations — this level of surveillance is legal in the US with minimal restriction. The EEOC has a documented 24-month backlog for employment discrimination investigations; without strong documentation at the time of the incident, cases fail. Bostock Title VII protections exist on paper but religious employer exemptions are expanding through the courts, creating a patchwork where the same discrimination is legal or illegal depending on employer type and state. FMLA covers serious health conditions but only for employers with 50+ employees — millions of workers at small businesses have no protected leave. WanderWork tracks employer monitoring, documents retaliation, navigates the EEOC process, and identifies when misclassification is occurring.
