How much do LA Uber drivers actually earn? Uber cites $34.46/hour — but that's only for active trip time. Factor in the 30–50% of time spent waiting for rides, and independent studies show median pay can drop to roughly $6–$9/hour.
Key step: track your total online hours separately from your active trip hours. The gap tells the real story.

The California Supreme Court's July ruling upholding Prop. 22 effectively ensures gig workers are independent contractors and not employees. That means the state labor commissioner — which has done its best to help keep gig companies accountable over the years — no longer has jurisdiction over individual gig workers' complaints. I examined nearly 200 wage claims gig workers filed with the state since 2020, a fourth of them directly related to Prop. 22. The issues gig workers complain about aren't going away. Now what?

#USA: Der Oberste Gerichtshof von Kalifornien prüft die Verfassungsmäßigkeit von #Prop22 für Gig-ArbeiterInnen, was nicht nur scheinselbständige Uber-/Lyft-FahrerInnen und nicht nur die USA betrifft https://www.labournet.de/?p=179779

So what changed between 2020 - when rideshare bosses destroyed protections for workers by flooding the zone with #Prop22 disinformation - and 2023, when the fast food bosses folded like a cheap suit? It wasn't changes to the laws governing ballot initiatives, nor was it a lack of ready capital for demolishing worker rights. Fast food executives weren't visited by three ghosts in the night who convinced them to care for their workers. Their hearts didn't grow by three sizes.

AB5 wasn't perfect - it swept up all kinds of genuine freelancers, like writers who contributed articles to many publications - but the response wasn't aimed at fixing the bad parts. It was designed to destroy the good parts.
After #AB5, #Uber and #Lyft poured more than $200m into #Prop22, a ballot initiative designed to permanently bar the California legislature from passing any law to protect "gig workers."

They pissed away hundreds of millions on California's #Prop22 to institutionalize worker misclassification, only to have the rule struck down because they couldn't be bothered to draft it properly. Then *they did it again* in Massachusetts:

Remember when Uber was going to plug the holes in its balance sheet with *flying cars*? Flying cars!

Subsequent research in California found that Uber drivers' wage fell to $6.22/hour after the passage of #Prop22, a worker misclassification law that gig companies spent $225m to pass, only to have the law struck down because of a careless drafting error:

After five years in charge and amidst a mass driver shortage, Dara Khosrowshahi finally figures out who Uber’s customers are.

Gig companies like Uber and DoorDash win as CA appeals court upholds most of #Prop22. The case is likely to be appealed to the state supreme court.

@aspensmonster I drive #DoorDash here in #California.
Back in 2020 we passed #Prop22. There's a lot to it but the most important are:
1. Guaranteed 120 percent of the local minimum wage for each hour a driver spends driving. DoorDash calls these "active hours", the time in between accepting and dropping off.
2. A health insurance stipend for drivers who average more than 15 hours per week driving (active hours). $1,275 is the max and that's for 25 active hours/week average.

4/ So when was the last time you gave a thought to the safety of your #DoorDash #driver on a rainy day? Door Dash has some safety measures in place if a driver feels unsafe, but nothing to prevent someone from working 24/7 if they so choose. In CA #Prop22 prevents this sort of behavior, but in the rest of the country, a delivery driver can put themselves at risk (and often will) because of economic instability. Someone driving a 3000 lb explosive that can go over 100 mph should take breaks.

Today I covered the appeals court hearing over #Prop22 in the First Court of Appeal in San Francisco. Here’s what gig workers were saying before the hearing:

Closing up the rally here in #SF by making it crystal clear what these companies can expect from workers: They and union allies will fight every single attempt to continue denying workers a living wage, sick days, healthcare, right to unionize and other basic labor rights.
#union #capitalism #workers #FF15 #AB257 #Prop22 #CAPol #sfpol -
You will see more and more attempts by these corporate titans to usurp the power of the legislature and the judicial branches using deceptive and illegal ballot measures. They will go after #AB257, the FAST Recovery Act, which empowers fast food workers.
