#ProtectDriversNotCEOs

We are a campaign of drivers, passengers & allies who believe that Uber, Lyft & other corporations must pay their fair share. #ProtectDriversNotCEOs #NoOnProp22

[#ProtectDriversNotCEOs @ProtectDrivers]

Prop 22 was written for Uber, by Uber—NOT for CA. The initiative allows @Uber and @Lyft to continue profiting off drivers by denying them basic protections and livable wages.

Join the No on Prop 22 coalition at https://t.co/rNz0Ed6TnF and follow @VoteNoOnProp22 for updates.

[#ProtectDriversNotCEOs @ProtectDrivers]

.@wedriveprogress driver Mekela spells out the impossible decision that @Uber and @Lyft are forcing their drivers to make: risk your life driving without basic health protections or don’t pay your bills. This fall, vote #NOonProp22.

[#ProtectDriversNotCEOs @ProtectDrivers]

.@wkamaubell lays down the truth about how companies like @Uber and @Lyft use the gig economy to scam workers by denying them workplace rights and livable wages.

You're not gonna want to miss this one.

@uber/@Lyft are acting like children, threatening to "take their ball and go home" if they don't get their way.

So we're bringing a giant inflatable baby to Uber HQ to highlight this childish behavior. We'll also have PPE for drivers.

[Mike Bonin @mikebonin]

In a cruel and petulant move, Uber just announced they are shutting down service in California on Thursday. Faced with a mandate to treat their workers fairly, they opted instead to leave them unemployed — in the middle of a pandemic and a recession.

[Vote #NoOnProp22 @VoteNoOnProp22]

App companies are spending $110 million dollars to cut workers out of essential benefits.

We're live now talking to drivers. Here's why they're asking you to vote #NoOnProp22 👇

“I’m struggling to put food on the table for myself. They deny us a living wage..They created this nightmarish business model that puts drivers on the edge of society…” - Jerome Gage, driver

[#ProtectDriversNotCEOs @ProtectDrivers]

It’s important to remember how we got here today: @Uber, @lyft, and other rideshare companies have BROKEN THE LAW.

"They could have paid us legal wages, funded unemployment insurance...so drivers wouldn’t be left out in the cold"

~ @wedriveprogress driver Mekela #NoOnProp22

[Josh Eidelson @josheidelson]

The companies "are not entitled to an indefinite postponement of their day of reckoning," judge wrote in today's opinion https://t.co/4XrG450E8s
"It's this simple: Defendants' drivers do not perform work that 'outside the usual course' of their businesses" https://t.co/MIYLBlCRah

[#ProtectDriversNotCEOs @ProtectDrivers]

“Prop 22 is creating a new substandard of employment for workers that are predominately immigrants and people of color” ~ @veenadubal #NoOnProp22 https://t.co/Edj20kvAjO

[California Gig Workers Union - SoCal @GigUnionSoCal]

"If Uber and Lyft cared, they wouldn’t be sending their workforce – the majority of whom are people of color and immigrants – out into the teeth of a deadly pandemic with no protective equipment, sick days, or unemployment protections." Jerome, Lyft driver #StrikeForBlackLives

[#ProtectDriversNotCEOs @ProtectDrivers]

“Simply put, misclassification hurts our communities as a whole.” ~ UCB Prof. @kjacobs9

He breaks down why Prop 22 won’t just hurt drivers, but all Californians. This fall, vote #NOonProp22.

[#ProtectDriversNotCEOs @ProtectDrivers]

From @GigWorkersRise driver @ealva70: “Let’s be clear, Prop 22 was written by app companies for app companies. I urge everybody to vote #NOonProp22 before it’s too late”

[Vote #NoOnProp22 @VoteNoOnProp22]

When multi-billion dollar corporations like Uber & Lyft refuse to pay for basic worker protections, taxpayers foot the bill. Now they’re trying to legalize this exploitation with a special loophole in CA law. #SlamTheBrakes on their power grab: https://t.co/3Fd2x8gpDO #NoOnProp22

[#ProtectDriversNotCEOs @ProtectDrivers]

“Recently in the middle of a global pandemic with millions of unemployed and unprotected workers, these companies are spending millions on a ballot measure to cut our pay and protections.” ~ @GigWorkersRise driver @ealva70 #NoOnProp22 https://t.co/Ni7J8cwwd0

[#ProtectDriversNotCEOs @ProtectDrivers]

“If Uber and Lyft do decide to shut down countless jobs in one of their largest markets, we’ll vote NO ON PROP 22, if @Uber and @Lyft continue to try to use extortion tactics, we’ll still vote #NOonProp22” ~ @GigWorkersRise driver, @cmurphy302 https://t.co/AEftK9mLaX

[#ProtectDriversNotCEOs @ProtectDrivers]

In response to the court ruling that @Uber & @Lyft must follow the law and protect drivers, these billion-dollar companies are now threatening to shut down in CA.

Today, drivers are speaking out against being held hostage by app company CEOs #NOonProp22

[California Gig Workers Union - Northern California @GigUnionNorCal]

We're essential workers, putting our lives on the line each day to pay our bills & put food on the table for our families while @Uber and @Lyft collect all the profits and try to bully drivers with threats and intimidation. Enough #NoOnProp22 #SickOfGigGreed

[#ProtectDriversNotCEOs @ProtectDrivers]

Disgusting. @Lyft is reaching out to their CA customers with a threat: Allow us to continue denying drivers basic workplace rights or we’ll leave the state. But Californians won’t be intimated. It’s time to end the exploitation of drivers, vote #NOonProp22

[#ProtectDriversNotCEOs @ProtectDrivers]

✔ Breaking the law
✔ Threatening Californians
✔ Using their app for political purposes

Lyft is doing whatever it takes to continue exploiting drivers for corporate profit. This fall, tell @Uber/@Lyft that CA won’t be held hostage to their selfish interests. Vote #NOonProp22

[#ProtectDriversNotCEOs @ProtectDrivers]

.@wedriveprogress Alan driver lays out the facts:

Prop 22 means billion-dollar corporations make more while drivers make less #NOonProp22
https://t.co/t61wgLEokY

[California Gig Workers Union - Northern California @GigUnionNorCal]

Lyft driver and @wedriveprogress member Alan talks about why getting the word out about #NoOnProp22 is important to him. Come out and join us in East Oakland tomorrow for our speakout and rally—details in the replies 👇

[#ProtectDriversNotCEOs @ProtectDrivers]

It’s simple: @Uber and @lyft are stealing from drivers. It’s time these billion-dollar companies pay drivers what they’re owed #ProtectDriversNotCEOs #SickofGigGreed

[#ProtectDriversNotCEOs @ProtectDrivers]

Rather than respect drivers with basic rights, @Uber and @Lyft are now threatening to abandon them in the middle of a pandemic and are spending millions on Prop 22 to rewrite the rules for their own benefit. #NoOnProp22

[Gig Workers Rising @GigWorkersRise]

We are unsurprised by the continued use of vile corp bully tactics employed by Uber & Lyft in response to the recent judge's ruling which simply reiterates what the state supreme court & state leg have decided: Uber drivers are legally owed employee status and benefits

[#ProtectDriversNotCEOs @ProtectDrivers]

If you want to know @DoorDash’s priorities, just follow the money.

The company is offering drivers just $0.78 per day for PPE equipment while spending $30 MILLION on a ballot campaign to deny them basic workplace protections. Vote #NOonProp22
