You know the deal. Get your ballots in early and vote NO on Prop 22!

10/02/2020

Prop 22 hurts workers — plain and simple:

❌No minimum wage
❌No sick leave
❌No workers' compensation
❌No unemployment benefits

Don’t let multi-million dollar companies like Uber and Lyft take our state for a ride. California workers deserve access to basic labor benefits under the law. Vote NO on Prop 22!

Get the Facts on Prop 22:

Uber, Lyft, Instacart and Doordash wrote Proposition 22 to create a special exemption for themselves from California law that requires app-based companies to provide basic protections to their workers. Now they’re spending more than $181 million on Prop 22, the most money ever spent on a single campaign in US history, to boost their profits by denying their drivers’ right to a minimum wage, paid sick leave and safety protections.

• Uber, Lyft, Instacart and DoorDash paid to put Proposition 22 on the ballot. They hired lawyers to write a misleading initiative and paid political operatives millions to collect the voter signatures they needed.

• Prop 22 is a carve out in law that allows Uber and app companies to deny their drivers rights and protections like paid sick leave, workers compensation or unemployment benefits.

• Prop 22 exempts these multi-billion-dollar gig corporations from contributing to safety net programs we all need like Social Security, Medicare and Unemployment Insurance.

• Prop 22 makes us all less safe by eliminating safety protections for riders and drivers and any liability these wealthy companies have to consumers.

• This measure threatens good, middle-class union jobs. If these companies succeed in buying this election, their low-pay, no-protection business model will expand in virtually every industry, leading to unprecedented job loss and a race to the bottom.

• Prop 22 ONLY applies to Uber and the app companies. It is designed to maximize their profits at the expense of taxpayers and their drivers. The measure creates a competitive advantage for giant corporations that hurts workers and small family-owned businesses.

• Current state law requires Uber and the app companies to provide their drivers with rights and protections, just like every other California business. The Attorney General recently sued them for breaking this law. You can help stop this power grab that hurts workers and taxpayers.

Prop 22 was written for app companies, by app companies — NOT for workers and our families. VOTE NO ON PROP 22! Visit www.sickofgiggreed.com to learn more.

Now more than ever, California must build a strong and inclusive future. Voting YES on Prop 15 allows us to invest in our schools & health services by ensuring big corporations pay their fair share. Voting NO on Prop 22 will make gig corporations pay their employees the wages and benefits they’ve earned.

Proposition 22 is a desperate attempt from gig companies to exempt themselves from following the law. Uber and Lyft would rather spend millions on a ballot measure than provide drivers adequate protection & pay during a pandemic. Shameful. Vote NO on Prop 22.
