THREAD: CA organized labor has been circulating framework for how they might organize gig workers. Here's why this matters in larger context of #AB5 and #Dynamex (1)
Recap: #Dynamex ruling says more workers are employees. Gig firms like Uber/Lyft are desperate to get out from under this, because their business models rely on work-when-you-want independent contractors. Labor not budging on #AB5 to put ruling in law; Newsom said he'll sign. (2)
BUT: #AB5 not a guarantee of gig worker organizing. Feds have said these workers are not employees, breaking with SCOCA. Newsom has said this gives CA an opportunity to create a new category; labor also talking about a new California Employee category (3)
Hey unions: say the courts decide your members have all employee rights (#dynamex), the co's approach you & suggest secret bargaining w/out your members, you say ok, & strike a deal that gives your mbrs less rights than employment. Would you be able to face your mbrs? /1
Drivers are the voiceless subject of this alleged compromise, a 3rd employment category. The resulting compromise wd leave drvrs w/out rights to negotiate a legally enforceable contract w/ the co's that employ us. Nope! #YesonAB5 @_drivers_united @CaliforniaLabor /2
Most of labor knows what side they're on, and they're with drivers and other misclassified employees. Don't be on the wrong side. latimes.com/business/techn… /3
