  Great news. I would love some economists to elaborate the overall wage suppression these companies have wrought—all because they have infinite investment capital and hope to turn a profit one day. https://twitter.com/...

  @CapitolAlert Spokesperson for the coalition: “This Superior Court ruling is not binding and will be immediately stayed upon our appeal. All of the provisions of Prop. 22 will remain in effect until the appeal process is complete.”

  California judge rules unconstitutional the measure classifying Uber and Lyft drivers as contractors. Me: Great news. I know some of these people argue for the right to be taken advantage of but we don't allow that. The companies abuse drivers. https://www.washingtonpost.com/ ...

  ‘MORE DIGNITY, MORE RIGHTS’: Uber and Lyft and other app-based service drivers are reacting after an Alameda County superior court judge ruled that Proposition 22 is unconstitutional and can't be enforced | @AmandaHari has more: https://www.kron4.com/...

  I'm not sure this is a major victory for gig workers if overwhelming majority voted yes on prop 22. It's a victory for the minority..which is fine to fight for. but tired of seeing people frame this as what all gig workers want when it's clear that isn't the case. https://twitter…

  Excellent. The gig economy has done nothing but erode labour rights we've won in hard-fought battles over the last century. There's a similar case working its way through Canadian courts. https://twitter.com/...

  A California judge ruled Prop. 22, which allowed Uber, Lyft, DoorDash and other app-based businesses to classify their workers as independent contractors, unconstitutional. https://www.latimes.com/...

  “Tech” is not neutral nor apolitical AND it's business models are too often built to exploit Also, can we finally admit that @uber & @lyft are NOT tech companies just because the business is app-enabled #ProfitWithoutOppression https://twitter.com/...

  The California Supreme Court has ruled Prop 22 unconstitutional in a victory for gig-workers! Read about our campaign plan for gig economy sectors like Uber and Lyft at https://howiehawkins.us/... https://twitter.com/...

  Spending $200m to buy a law and having it struck down as unconstitutional bc you tried to make it impossible for the legislature to ever amend it couldn't have happened to a nicer industry

  I'm honestly flabbergasted by this ruling. Nearly 10 million Californians voted in favor of Prop 22, which prevailed by a 17-point margin. And yet a single county judge took it upon itself to deny the will of the people & declare it “unconstitutional.” https://www.washingtonpost.…

  Prop 22 ruled unconstitutional! I mean, because it is unconstitutional. Yea!! ✊🏽👏🏽 🍾❤️ Court: CA's Prop. 22 on Uber, Lyft drivers unconstitutional | The Sacramento Bee https://www.sacbee.com/...

  this is not over but Uber and Lyft have always been trojan horses to destroy what little labor protections workers have in this country. After years of being unprofitable by design it is so heartening that they might fail at their ultimate purpose all along https://twitter.com/..…

  Major victory tonight for California workers. Big corporations don't get to spend $225 million to take away workers' rights. Thank you @SEIU, @seiucalifornia, and Gig Drivers! https://twitter.com/...

  A reasonable person might ask, “why are we relitigating this, and not the prop that made it de facto legal to steal anything worth less than a G”, but alas these are unreasonable times https://twitter.com/...

  Hoo boy, your Uber ride pricing about to double, Lorena Gonzalez will be 5x more obnoxious, and labor unions will flex even more. Of note — the lawyers who represented Big Labor to defeat the will of the people? Olsen Remcho, which also represents — wait for it — @GavinNewsom! ht…

  Uber and Prop 22 faction saying they're going to appeal, but law profs who backed petition say it's a steep road. “They were trying to do too much in one proposition,” said @veenadubal Cal. Supreme Court likely to have final word, says law prof Bill Gould https://www.washingtonpo…

  Prop. 22, the gig worker exemption for Uber and Lyft, is ruled unconstitutional. Hell yes!!! https://www.sfchronicle.com/ ...

  Prop 22, that gross multi multimillion dollar lie to give Uber and Lyft and all app companies license to degrade, humiliate, underpay, and dehumanize workers, to deny basic needs, and also it turns out tonight illegal.

• @parismarx Paris Marx on x

  Holy shit! After the gig companies spent $200 million to mislead enough voters to pass Prop 22 and roll back workers' rights, it's been found unconstitutional. I'm not sure where things go next, but this is huge. 🎉 https://twitter.com/...

  Hoping this ruling lasts through the inevitable appeals and that we can turn over Prop 22. But this is definitely good Friday news. https://www.sacbee.com/...
