The Carlo Law Group

The Carlo Law Group joins the country in mourning the loss of Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, a trailblazer for gender equality. During Ginsburg’s early years as a lawyer, the Social Security Act contained several sections applicable only to one gender. In Weinberger vs Wiesenfeld, 420 U.S. 636 (1975) Ginsburg successfully argued that the gender-based distinction under 42 U.S.C. 402(g) of the Social Security Act of 1935which permitted widows but not widowers ...to collect benefits while caring for minor childrenviolated the right to equal protection secured by the Due Process Clause of the Fifth Amendment to the United States Constitution. In Califano v. Goldfarb, 430 U.S. 199 (1977) Ginsburg convinced the Court that 42 USC Section 402, which required a widower to have been receiving half his support from his wife at the time of her death but did not impose this requirement on widows was also an unconstitutional violation of the Due Process clause. Justice Ginsburg wrote the unanimous or majority opinion for several Social Security cases including Astrue v. Capato, 566 U.S. 541132 S.Ct. 2021, 182 L.Ed 887 (2012) which held that posthumously conceived children who can inherit under the laws of intestacy of the state where their deceased father was domiciled at the time of death can meet the Social Security Act’s definition of "child" under 42 U.S.C. 416(h)(2)(A) and be eligible to receive survivor’s benefits. Rest in Power RBG.

In order to support the hundreds of thousands of app-based drivers in their quest to become employees and obtain the legally required benefits and protections that come with employment, The Carlo Law Group supports the No on Proposition 22 campaign. On November 3, voters will be asked to approve a misleading new employment classification through Proposition 22, a ballot initiative funded by Uber, Lyft, DoorDash and other app-based employers. These companies want to create thi...s new classification for their drivers so they don't have to pay for their standard benefits & protections, including a minimum wage, paid sick leave, unemployment insurance & workers’ compensation. Rather than comply with Assembly Bill 5, which requires these companies to classify their drivers as employees, they're hoping to convince voters to approve Proposition 22 so they can continue mistreating their drivers. They've so far poured over $110 million into their campaign and will far outspend labor groups who are rallying to oppose the proposition. Join us in helping to educate voters on the reality of what this proposition is really about. Thank you in advance for your support. Vote #NoOnProp22.
