Why are Uber and Lyft spending $200 million to pass Prop 22? With mail ballots coming soon, we want to make sure you know the real story behind Prop 22.

You know what Prop 22 would do? It would exempt Uber, Lyft, and other app companies from providing basic rights and protections to their workers. We’re talking about things like a minimum wage, paid sick leave, workers’ compensation or unemployment benefits. It also gives these multi-billion-dollar gig corporations a free pass from contributing to safety net programs we all need like Social Security and Medicare.

Prop 22 was written for app companies, by app companies — NOT for workers and our families.

Let’s just be honest. These mega-corporations are trying to buy an election so they can cheat their workers and all of us as taxpayers even as they line their own pockets with skyrocketing profits. Prop 22 makes the wealthy CEOs of these companies even richer at our expense.

The stakes are incredibly high. Prop 22 hurts gig workers, small businesses, and threatens good, middle-class 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. Almost every job in California could become a gig. NO on Prop 22 will hold app-based companies accountable and will guarantee millions of workers receive basic labor protections, including:

A Minimum Wage
Health insurance
Workers’ Compensation
Paid Sick Leave
Unemployment Insurance
Legal protection from discrimination and sexual harassment
Access to COVID-19 Safety Equipment and PPE
The Right to Join or Form a Union

That’s why Vice President Joe Biden, Senator Kamala Harris, Senator Elizabeth Warren, and civil rights activist Dolores Huerta all say NO on Prop 22.
