Olson, Uber and Postmates stated a viable claim that AB 5, which adopts the ABC test of employment for most employees, violates the Equal Protection Clause even under the rational basis test because of its many exemptions, including of app-based gig companies that perform errand services, which have similar business models to Uber and Postmates.  What differentiates this case from American Society of Journalists and Authors, Inc. v. Bonta (9th Cir. 2021) 15 F.4th 954 which upheld AB 5 against an Equal Protection challenge, is that in this case plaintiff pleaded facts showing that the author of AB 5 had a particular personal animus against Uber, Postmates and similar large app-based ride hailing services.
