“I’ve never seen this hunger for change that exists with drivers. Every single transaction reveals exploitation. They feel like a way to regain control is to have control & ownership over the platform.”https://t.co/IcyOWvLVzL
Uber lied to their drivers in order to circumvent labor law and pass Prop 22. They dangled the promise of more control and better pay and are now reneging on their word.

Absolutely shameless.https://t.co/fUyVAW8EPy
Why why why is this company allowed to exist? https://t.co/IXvjMKhBiR

I for one am shocked, shocked I saw that Uber has re-adjusted their rules now that they got what they wanted to in Prop 22. https://t.co/MCN7gNDgMo

“A lot of drivers were very gung-ho about Prop. 22,” says Tonje Ettesvoll, who has driven for Uber in San Diego for 5 yrs. “Now they feel completely deceived. A storm is coming.”

"Uber CEO Dara Khosrowshahi says Uber needs more drivers on the road, but his company keeps cutting their pay and benefits."

“Dissatisfied drivers and labor advocates are forming worker-owned cooperatives in an attempt to take back some of the money — and power — in the gig economy.”

It will be interesting to see how @TheDriversCoop does in New York. https://t.co/zSLaOpoMpQ

Shame on you!
What aspects have Uber granted for collective bargaining?
It’s a PR stunt and you’ve given this company the pass to an open goal in the last minute of a cup final!
A truly despicable company.

Bosses will promise the sun, moon and stars. They might even let you see some light for a minute to convince you. But they'll take it away as soon as they get what they want. Unless you've got a union contract. The solution is in our hands: Organize! #1u https://t.co/Y4MNXuKBFh

Uber gave drivers flexibility to set fares and choose trips to win their support for Prop. 22 and show that employee status doesn’t apply. The initiative passed, and Uber all but eliminated the flexibility: https://t.co/gvi2VXgwGQ
