Great chart in the @latimes about the impact of Proposition 22 on app-based drivers pay. A driver who works 20 h/week would earn $195 less a week than they would with basic labor protections guaranteed under minimum wage employment laws. #NoOnProp22

🔊Listen to the latest #Teamsters Podcast on how Teamsters are fighting to defeat #Prop22 in CA, which would allow misclassification to continue in that state. Plus, drivers learn from a @NIOSH official how to keep trucks Covid free: https://t.co/tT5E4cBapG

That about sums it up. #NoOnProp22

Tell Uber and Lyft that they cannot buy democracy. #NoOnProp22

One study found that drivers would make just $5.64 / hr under #Prop22.

Prop. 22 is about exploiting workers for huge corporate profits. Period.

If you already voted #NoOnProp22 or are going to vote #NoOnProp22 don’t forget to follow and amplify @VoteNoOnProp22 @GigWC @GigWorkersRise @mobile_alliance @wedriveprogress and @CaliforniaLabor #SickOfGigGreed

[Steve Smith @ssmith_calabor]

#Prop22 would enshrine in law that it's acceptable for corporations to pay workers absolutely nothing for their labor. One of many, many reasons to vote #NoOnProp22

[Teamsters 853 @853Teamsters]

When billion-dollar companies exploit their workers, taxpayers foot the bill. From 2014—2019, Uber & Lyft avoided paying $𝟒𝟏𝟑 𝐦𝐢𝐥𝐥𝐢𝐨𝐧 to the CA unemployment fund by misclassifying their workers as independent contractors.

Enough.

Vote #NoOnProp22

[Chris Castro @Cassinthat]

Uber & Lyft’s business model is completely based on exploitation of the most vulnerable. #NoOnProp22

[Ash Kalra 🌱 @Ash_Kalra]

This is just gross. Please vote No on Prop 22!

Prop22 is just Uber and Lyft trying to buy themselves exemptions from labor law. #NoOnProp22

[Teamsters 853 @853Teamsters]

It’s all about the future of Teamster jobs. #NoOnProp22

[California Federation of Labor Unions @CaliforniaLabor]

2 days until ballots drop! #9) If Prop 22 passes, drivers won't be able to leverage the power of collective bargaining. We can't let these greedy corporations endanger vulnerable workers & rob them of their right to stand together in a #union. Vote NO on Prop 22. #NoOnProp22

[California Federation of Labor Unions @CaliforniaLabor]

Nuff said. Vote #NoOnProp22

[California Federation of Labor Unions @CaliforniaLabor]

“They’re spending $184,000,000 to throw everything at the wall & now at the screen, but they can’t change the underlying fact that Prop 22 is a blatant attempt to buy themselves a new law." Vote NO on the Uber/Lyft power grab. #NoOnProp22 #SickofGigGreed https://t.co/qERC7Uat0C

[California Federation of Labor Unions @CaliforniaLabor]

"I was one illness away from potentially putting my family out on the street & without sick leave, I was forced to continue driving, even when I wasn’t 100%. Now in a pandemic, it’s inexcusable that workers are left without basic protections." #NoOnProp22 https://t.co/EZjCSiP8Ch
