.@wedriveprogress driver Mekela spells out the impossible decision that @Uber and @Lyft are forcing their drivers to make: risk your life driving without basic health protections or don’t pay your bills. This fall, vote #NOonProp22.
.@wkamaubell lays down the truth about how companies like @Uber and @Lyft use the gig economy to scam workers by denying them workplace rights and livable wages. cnn.com/2020/08/09/opi…
In a cruel and petulant move, Uber just announced they are shutting down service in California on Thursday. Faced with a mandate to treat their workers fairly, they opted instead to leave them unemployed — in the middle of a pandemic and a recession.
App companies are spending $110 million dollars to cut workers out of essential benefits. We're live now talking to drivers. Here's why they're asking you to vote #NoOnProp22 👇
“I’m struggling to put food on the table for myself. They deny us a living wage..They created this nightmarish business model that puts drivers on the edge of society…” - Jerome Gage, driver
It’s important to remember how we got here today: @Uber, @lyft, and other rideshare companies have BROKEN THE LAW. "They could have paid us legal wages, funded unemployment insurance...so drivers wouldn’t be left out in the cold" ~ @wedriveprogress driver Mekela #NoOnProp22
The companies "are not entitled to an indefinite postponement of their day of reckoning," judge wrote in today's opinion oag.ca.gov/system/files/a… "It's this simple: Defendants' drivers do not perform work that 'outside the usual course' of their businesses" bloomberg.com/news/articles/…
“Prop 22 is creating a new substandard of employment for workers that are predominately immigrants and people of color” ~ @veenadubal #NoOnProp22 x.com/mobile_allianc…
"If Uber and Lyft cared, they wouldn’t be sending their workforce – the majority of whom are people of color and immigrants – out into the teeth of a deadly pandemic with no protective equipment, sick days, or unemployment protections." Jerome, Lyft driver #StrikeForBlackLives
“Simply put, misclassification hurts our communities as a whole.” ~ UCB Prof. @kjacobs9 He breaks down why Prop 22 won’t just hurt drivers, but all Californians. This fall, vote #NOonProp22. x.com/chrisbenner/st…
Important Op-ed from @kjacobs9 on why platform companies' efforts to strip gig workers of basic protections is bad for all of us. No paid sick leave, no PPE, difficulties accessing UI--all threaten our health and hurt our economy. sfchronicle.com/opinion/openfo…?
From @GigWorkersRise driver @ealva70: “Let’s be clear, Prop 22 was written by app companies for app companies. I urge everybody to vote #NOonProp22 before it’s too late”
When multi-billion dollar corporations like Uber & Lyft refuse to pay for basic worker protections, taxpayers foot the bill. Now they’re trying to legalize this exploitation with a special loophole in CA law. #SlamTheBrakes on their power grab: slamthebrakes.org #NoOnProp22
“Recently in the middle of a global pandemic with millions of unemployed and unprotected workers, these companies are spending millions on a ballot measure to cut our pay and protections.” ~ @GigWorkersRise driver @ealva70 #NoOnProp22 latimes.com/california/sto…
“If Uber and Lyft do decide to shut down countless jobs in one of their largest markets, we’ll vote NO ON PROP 22, if @Uber and @Lyft continue to try to use extortion tactics, we’ll still vote #NOonProp22” ~ @GigWorkersRise driver, @cmurphy302 thehill.com/policy/transpo…
In response to the court ruling that @Uber & @Lyft must follow the law and protect drivers, these billion-dollar companies are now threatening to shut down in CA. Today, drivers are speaking out against being held hostage by app company CEOs #NOonProp22
We're essential workers, putting our lives on the line each day to pay our bills & put food on the table for our families while @Uber and @Lyft collect all the profits and try to bully drivers with threats and intimidation. Enough #NoOnProp22 #SickOfGigGreed
Disgusting. @Lyft is reaching out to their CA customers with a threat: Allow us to continue denying drivers basic workplace rights or we’ll leave the state. But Californians won’t be intimated. It’s time to end the exploitation of drivers, vote #NOonProp22
✔ Breaking the law ✔ Threatening Californians ✔ Using their app for political purposes Lyft is doing whatever it takes to continue exploiting drivers for corporate profit. This fall, tell @Uber/@Lyft that CA won’t be held hostage to their selfish interests. Vote #NOonProp22
.@wedriveprogress Alan driver lays out the facts: Prop 22 means billion-dollar corporations make more while drivers make less #NOonProp22 x.com/wedriveprogres…
Lyft driver and @wedriveprogress member Alan talks about why getting the word out about #NoOnProp22 is important to him. Come out and join us in East Oakland tomorrow for our speakout and rally—details in the replies 👇
It’s simple: @Uber and @lyft are stealing from drivers. It’s time these billion-dollar companies pay drivers what they’re owed #ProtectDriversNotCEOs #SickofGigGreed
Rather than respect drivers with basic rights, @Uber and @Lyft are now threatening to abandon them in the middle of a pandemic and are spending millions on Prop 22 to rewrite the rules for their own benefit. #NoOnProp22
We are unsurprised by the continued use of vile corp bully tactics employed by Uber & Lyft in response to the recent judge's ruling which simply reiterates what the state supreme court & state leg have decided: Uber drivers are legally owed employee status and benefits
If you want to know @DoorDash’s priorities, just follow the money. The company is offering drivers just $0.78 per day for PPE equipment while spending $30 MILLION on a ballot campaign to deny them basic workplace protections. Vote #NOonProp22 x.com/GigWorkersRise…
