The PRO Act provides app-based workers the right to organize a union & is a step in the right direction towards ending employee reclassification. I’m proud to organize with @_drivers_united. Shout out 2 farm workers, domestic workers, & @GoIUPAT who also fighting 4 the PRO Act
NEW: Drivers are exposing Uber and Lyft’s business model. It’s built on deception, control, and false promises.
They operate "a lot like a drug dealer,” one driver said.
But the PRO Act would change that and restore power to workers.
I keep thinking about the occupational impacts of UberLyft’s business model…and the way the city killed so many immigrant men — men who died of stress and heartbreak and economic ruin because the city & state would not enforce the goddamn laws.
There's no way Michigan was even in play without @UAW—same for Nevada & Arizona without @unitehere.
Dems failing unions yet again by not acting on NLRB nominees is at their own peril. We'll still be here without you, but you won't survive without us.
Depends on how you define “unionization.” This is not the law working class people of color needed to build material power. And it’s so upsetting that some in labor think it’s okay to “experiment” with precarious workers who have not consented to this experimentation.
Massachusetts friends and @UAWRegion9A members: Remember to Vote No on Question 3. Drivers deserve a union that will democratically represent them, not a shortcut that Uber/Lyft support #mapoli https://t.co/W2GFKhUbTr
This the BEST analysis of the bad SEIU-IDG backed initiative for Uber drivers. As @FlyingWithSara said, "Are we building a fighting movement or are we just trying to get people to pay dues"? With thoughts from @NelsonLichtens1 & me.

Wow, Uber said they will not actively lobby against the IDG-SEIU initiative in MA that creates a "union" without employment rights. If that doesn't tell you everything you need to know, I don't know what does.
If we want the war in Gaza to end, we can’t put our heads in the sand or ignore the voices of the Palestinian Americans in the Democratic Party. If we want peace, if we want real democracy, and if we want to win this election, the Democratic Party must allow a Palestinian American speaker to be heard from the DNC stage tonight.
