California Gig Workers Union - SoCal

We are organizing a union in California to win fair wages, increased flexibility, health benefits, and basic worker protections from companies like Uber & Lyft.

❗BIG NEWS❗ California Gig Workers Union members as we announced that we have taken a MAJOR step toward becoming *the* union for all gig drivers in the state. We’ve taken the 1st step of filing for union recognition with the state of CA. #UnionStrong https://t.co/MwbwMfhKWJ

Congratulations to @DriversIllinois! Can’t wait to keep building our nationwide union movement with you.

HISTORY MADE! The Rideshare Drivers’ Union Bill passed both chambers and will now head to the Governor’s desk to be signed into law. 100,000 drivers can now form a union and collectively bargain for higher wages, safety protections and more!

Vikaas breaks it down. Long hours. Low pay. No say. Uber and Lyft driving doesn't have to be this way. Together, we can have a voice through the California Gig Workers Union. Join our movement! Sign your union card today: https://t.co/7Q3rwcINWu #CAGigUnion

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.

As gas prices surge, gig drivers are the ones bearing the brunt of the pain. CGWU drivers spoke to the LA Times about the realities of driving while gas skyrockets. @GigUnionNorCal https://t.co/VhF6KbNIQN

La Brigada has landed! Dozens of Uber & Lyft drivers from California, Illinois, Minnesota & Massachusetts are here in Cali to learn from each other, build our power and win a union for CA gig workers together! ✊ #CAGigUnion

Monthly safety reports. Fines for violations. Faster response times. #SB1246 authored by @sendavecortese brings transparency to autonomous vehicles on CA streets. Gig drivers are driving progress and speaking out to make sure that streets are safe for all. #CaLeg #AVSafety

[California Gig Workers Union - SoCal @GigUnionSoCal]

First responders shouldn’t have to deal with broken robotaxis. #SB1246 gives them the tools and puts responsibility back on AV corporations to take care of immobilized vehicles.

@GigUnionNorCal @SenDaveCortese Autonomous vehicles are here. Safety rules should be too.

California drivers and workers rallied today in five cities for #SB1246 — demanding accountability when robotaxis fail.

[California Gig Workers Union - SoCal @GigUnionSoCal]

Gig drivers across California are speaking out. Today, members of the California Gig Workers Union rallied statewide in support of #SB1246 — a bill to bring safety, accountability, and transparency to autonomous vehicles. #SB1246 #AVSafety

[California Gig Workers Union - SoCal @GigUnionSoCal]

We follow the rules, so should robotaxis! Today, we asked the CPUC to investigate reports that robotaxis are allowing unaccompanied minors to use their vehicles - violating their permit and putting kids at risk.

Drivers are an essential part of the ecosystem that makes LAX one of the biggest airports in the world. We deserve fair treatment! https://t.co/kVAxoVMppR

How do we fight back against unregulated AI and Big Tech greed? A union! @BernieSanders & his wife, Jane, recently sat down with CGWU drivers to discuss how we fight for dignity in an AI world.

@GigUnionNorCal We can’t let Big Tech companies run over our democratic process! We need to ⏸️ AV rideshare rollouts until we have:
🔒 Job protections and economic impact assessments
🏛️ Real oversight
🔍 Public transparency
🚒 Emergency coordination
✊ Worker and community input

[California Gig Workers Union - SoCal @GigUnionSoCal]

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.

[California Gig Workers Union - SoCal @GigUnionSoCal]

The December Waymo shutdown was a wake up call! Big AI companies are using our streets as testing grounds - putting safety at risk and threatening the livelihoods of hundreds of thousands of drivers, all without any input from workers, elected leaders or our communities.
