This is HISTORY. 800,000 rideshare drivers are on the verge of winning their union rights. The Senate just passed #AB1340. After a quick assm concurrence vote, it heads directly to Governor @GavinNewsom. Workers fought, organized and WON. #CaLeg

I wrote this years ago, & it is still true. #SB371 (supported by Uber) & #AB1340 (supported by SEIU). This is a sweetheart deal that only helps the sponsors of the bills.
One more important step for #AB1340 – it's cleared for a full vote by the Senate in the coming days. More than 800,000 gig drivers are on the verge of being able to form their union! #CaGigUnion #CaLeg

#AB1340 “has the potential to empower hundreds of thousands of workers, giving more Californians the right to organize than any other legislation in recent state history” -
@buffywicks.bsky.social. Uber, @asklyft.bsky.social & @calchamber.bsky.social beg to differ.

Group of people holding signs supporting AB 1340 for union rights, celebrating a legislative victory in California for rideshare drivers.
Gig corporations are raking in record profits while drivers struggle to pay for gas and basic needs. United in SEIU California Gig Workers Union, gig rideshare drivers are standing up for #AB1340 and fighting back. @seiuca.bsky.social
#AB1340 “has the potential to empower hundreds of thousands of workers, giving more Californians the right to organize than any other legislation in recent state history,” according to @buffywicks.bsky.social. Unsurprisingly, the bill is opposed by Uber and Lyft.

Ever since Uber launched in 2009, there’s been an ongoing debate on whether rideshare drivers are independent contractors, as claimed by the apps, or employees, as claimed by workers and Labor. @buffywicks.bsky.social's #AB1340 lets rideshare drivers unionize
capitolweekly.net/bill-to-unio...
Over 800,000 rideshare drivers in CA—1 in every 24 CA workers—just got one step closer to the right to unionize. The CA Assembly passed #AB1340, giving gig drivers the right to unionize & collectively bargain for better pay and working conditions—a major victory toward fairness in the gig economy.
Uber and Lyft drivers in California could get the right to unionize under this bill.

No rights, no rides, let drivers organize!
As a proud co-author of #AB1340, I am fighting to give ride-share drivers an opportunity to organize and #unionize. It is time to support this community and get them the benefits they deserve!
Rideshare fares keep going up—but drivers are taking home less and less. Uber & Lyft are reporting record profits.
#AB1340 gives drivers the power to organize & demand their fair share.
