Uber driver in CA — am I actually an employee under AB5 or still contractor?

California AB5 and Prop 22 create complex classification rules. Consult an employment attorney for specific advice.

Been driving for Uber/Lyft in LA for 2 years. Still getting 1099'd. With AB5 I thought we were supposed to be employees now?

I want actual employee benefits - health insurance, unemployment, workers comp. Can I force them to reclassify me? What are my rights here?
