So, 2020. Helluva year. Covid, Prop22. As drivers? It sucked. Hard. 80% of us found new gigs or went on UI. Some of us caught COVID in our car. Only to have the co's kill our labor rights w/ a $200 mil campaign pretending their law gave us rights. /1 theguardian.com/us-news/2020/n…
But it's the year end - let's take stock. Prop 22 sucks. But it was the first big battle the app co’s won. Our movement is starting to win – everywhere. In the courts, in the legislature, with the public. Around the world. /2 google.com/search?rlz=1C1…

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
