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

Prop 22 will hurt low wage gig workers and communities of color. The nearly $200 million heavy YES campaign tries everything in their power to convince you otherwise, see https://t.co/L6nvCP8cuP @darakerr @CNET. But money can’t buy everything, say #NoOnProp22

Have you ever ordered food or groceries on an app📱? Did you know that many gig workers laboring for apps are exploited?
