More than 800,000 drivers for ride-hailing companies in California will soon be able to join a union and bargain collectively for better wages and benefits under a measure signed by Gov. Gavin Newsom.
Could be huge, I’ve done my share of rideshare in the past six months so I’ll definitely join whatever union is in the works. I wanna see the ability to set my own prices like an independent contractor in literally any other industry.
I don’t think they’ll ever give that back. Prop 22 really screwed over drivers, there was the truly amazing but very short time where they were desperate and gave drivers everything they wanted and you could set your own prices.
Yeah things are pretty bad. I remember when I started and I looked up a bunch of guides and saw all kinds of people from 2018 talking about how you can make $2k driving forty hours, nowadays you’re lucky to hit $1k in eighty.
You’ll obliterate your car, too. The real solution is legislation but it’s clear they don’t give a shit. I don’t think prop 22 is even holding that back anymore, I think a court decided that the part of it that made relegislating stuff like driver pay impossible due to needing a huge majority was null.

I feel like it’d be easy for a whole union to just make their own app and fuck off
This would be so cool, turn the state of California into a union shop and give gig apps and their billionaire CEOs the boot.
