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

Uber is a tinder box. I spent almost 2 hrs yesterday in a big LA Uber Hub. I saw driver after driver dealing with being deactivated, some with some very very sad stories, & the customer service specialists really doing nothing for them. /1
One driver asked to talk with a manager and was refused. As he was pleading his case, 4000+ rides, he was actually told by the Uber employee behind the desk, "There's over 100,000 other drivers out there. You're one less. Nothing I can do." /2
Another driver broke my heart. He told me he started driving 2 months ago. Quit his job, bought a new car, $425/month payment, was thinking he was going to make better pay to take care of his family better. He was about 9 rides away from a big bonus. Uber deactivated him. /3
