California Gig Workers Union - Northern California

Gig workers are essential. Now, we’re forming our union to make sure we’re treated like we are.

With tech companies racing to deploy autonomous vehicles, common-sense laws are more urgent than ever. #SB1246 moving forward is a big step to ensure that autonomous vehicles are rolled out safely, responsibly, and with our communities put first.

Human drivers are adaptable on the fly. Fast Company's reporting reveals why, when Waymo fails, it creates a unique problem on our streets: https://t.co/KhJ4VlOWGC

Silicon Valley calls it innovation. Transit workers call it chaos.

New records show Waymo robotaxis regularly stall, block streets, and create new problems for public transit operators.

Tech companies want to replace workers. But workers and cities are left cleaning up the mess

Waymo stalls, safety falls! Drivers and community members are at the San Francisco Board of Supervisors for a hearing on the Waymo shutdown during December’s storms. We deserve answers and accountability.

In just one week, Waymo has turned our streets into a crash test zone. They struck a child outside a school in Santa Monica AND Lost control and smashed into parked cars in Echo Park during the same week.

TODAY, Uber & Lyft drivers with the California Gig Workers Union testified at the California Public Utilities Commission. We're not against technology. But Waymos and other autonomous vehicles must be safe and accountable to working people!

BREAKING: After a decade-long fight, gig drivers won the RIGHT to unionize and bargain with Uber & Lyft. AB 1340 has been signed into law by Gov @GavinNewsom.

This is historic and gig drivers united in California Gig Workers Union made it happen.

[California Gig Workers Union - Northern California @GigUnionNorCal]

Due to the heroic efforts of Uber & Lyft drivers with SEIU California Gig Workers United, AB 1340 passed the State Senate Labor Committee. That's one step closer to a union for gig drivers!

[California Gig Workers Union - Northern California @GigUnionNorCal]

BREAKING: Over 800,000 rideshare drivers in CA just got one step closer to the right to unionize. The Assembly passed #AB1340 (Wicks, Berman), giving gig drivers the right to unionize and collectively bargain for better pay and working conditions. https://t.co/Xr9Cm1PzSd

[California Gig Workers Union - Northern California @GigUnionNorCal]

AB 1340 (Wicks, Berman) will give California’s more than 600,000 rideshare drivers the opportunity to form a union and negotiate with corporations like Uber and Lyft over their pay and working conditions.

[California Gig Workers Union - Northern California @GigUnionNorCal]

Yesterday, hundreds of gig drivers and their allies rallied in Sacramento and lobbied legislators on #AB1340. AB1340 gives gig drivers the right to form a union, negotiate better pay, and fight back against corporate abuse. It’s time for a gig drivers union now!

[California Gig Workers Union - Northern California @GigUnionNorCal]

#AB1340 is a game-changer: it gives gig drivers the right to form a union, negotiate better pay, and fight back against corporate abuse. It’s time for a gig drivers union now!

[California Gig Workers Union - Northern California @GigUnionNorCal]

While we are disappointed in the @CaSupremeCourt's #Prop22 decision, make no mistake — our resolve to fight for gig workers’ rights remains unshaken. We must continue to advocate for policies that protect ALL California workers.

[California Gig Workers Union - Northern California @GigUnionNorCal]

Uber, Lyft, Doordash and other gig workers with the California Gig Workers Union rallied outside the CA Supreme Court to say: Proposition 22 is unconstitutional!

Propositional 22 is bad for workers, bad for the economy, and bad for California.

[California Gig Workers Union - Northern California @GigUnionNorCal]

Proposition 22 is unconstituational!

[SEIU California @seiucalifornia]

Just released, a first-of-its-kind analysis by @UCBLaborCenter of what gig rideshare and delivery workers are paid across 5 metro areas. Report finds that CA gig workers are making significantly LESS THAN MINIMUM WAGE under #UnconstitutionalProp22 https://t.co/pFqcSdlzMF

[California Gig Workers Union - Northern California @GigUnionNorCal]

Proposition 22 is bad for workers and bad for California. We will be rallying outside the California Supreme Court on May 21st to watch final arguments.

[California Gig Workers Union - Northern California @GigUnionNorCal]

TODAY: gig drivers with the California Gig Workers Union confronted Uber at the California Public Utilities Commission. Their message? Uber MUST NOT be put in charge of the Driver Assistance Program — a vital, groundbreaking incentive program for low- and moderate-income drivers.

[California Gig Workers Union - Northern California @GigUnionNorCal]

Yesterday, more than 150 drivers caravanned to Uber HQ to fight back against low pay & unfair deactivations. Gig workers need a union! #1u #UnionsForAll

[San Francisco Chronicle @sfchronicle]

The state Supreme Court granted a labor-backed request Wednesday to decide the constitutionality of a voter-approved measure that classified drivers for companies such as Uber and Lyft as contractors rather than employees. https://t.co/hdYdKabdlk

[SEIU California @seiucalifornia]

SEIU CA is proud to stand with gig drivers who are challenging the constitutionality of #Prop22. We're heading to the CA Supreme Court. #UnconstitutionalProp22
