Misclassifying workers as independent contractors can be a popular tool for employers looking to strip workers of basic rights and protections to pad their own pockets. And if we don’t act, this anti-worker practice will be embedded deep into our economy. https://t.co/5ES5uUsRUb

Seriously? If @Uber spent 1/1000 of the time they spend trying to avoid the law focusing on complying w/ it, none of this would be necessary. Stop the secret projects, legal shenanigans & all the rest of the BS to cheat workers & just follow the damn law! https://t.co/Y0JUNcukkb

"Another hurdle is that few fleet operators in California are large enough to absorb Uber’s and Lyft’s business, partly because Uber and Lyft previously disrupted taxis, black cars and similar operations."https://t.co/d5p6PJXkMe

"Uber employs 140k drivers in CA & Lyft employs roughly 80k. 220k will now lose their income in the middle of a pandemic and recession, all thanks to the naive intervention of San Francisco regulators who thought they could plan the market." @brad_polumbo https://t.co/drw0CyfObf
