It's not affecting Uber's business because the cost of gas is being eaten up by us drivers. @_drivers_united @DriversSf @GigWorkersRise @mobile_alliance will make sure that people know about this exploitation.

WA 31 in Brookline PASSES with a 186-14 vote, in favor of the resolution to support a NO vote on Big Tech’s ballot question.
Thank you to Brookline’s Town Meeting members for standing with workers & consumers and standing up to corporate interests.

Beth Griffith (@Bethofalltradez), Executive Director of @DriveBIDG, is not going to allow Big Tech to come into our state and erode labor and civil rights that people have spilled blood for.

👏 Last week, @AyannaPressley endorsed @Massnotforsale to join the growing opposition against #BigTech's ballot initiative. Thank you to those who gave powerful remarks @LydiaMEdwards @carmensunion589 @DriveBIDG @NEU4J #Solidarity
Rep. @AyannaPressley gave a stirring speech endorsing us last Saturday in which she broke down what Massachusetts Is Not for Sale is fighting for:
"We are not just here to affirm the essential nature and import of your labor. We're here because we give a damn about your lives."

Last Saturday, @AyannaPressley joined labor and community leaders in opposing Big Tech's ballot initiative
@BarnacleWBZ reports that the ballot initiative would jeopardize worker rights and "undermine democracy and the Commonwealth's social safety net."

Massachusetts is not going to give Big Tech a pass.
"We reject the idea that big tech is exempt from the requirement to pay workers a living wage, provide paid leave, or enforce anti-discrimination laws." — @AyannaPressley

Big Tech is trying to create an underclass of gig workers — most of whom are POC and immigrants — that don't receive basic worker rights.
If they succeed in MA, every worker will be at risk of being misclassified and losing fundamental rights.

Amazon 🤝 the cops = a marriage made in hell.
We demand the immediate release of the two organizers arrested and an end to Amazon union busting.
BREAKING: Amazon told union organizers at JFK8 today that they were calling the police after they delivered a pasta & grilled chicken lunch to break room.
Here is the video of NYPD showing up and arresting 3 union organizers, 2 are current employees.vice.com/en/article/3abjz3/w…

“The ballot language from @Uber & @lyft is a $100M ploy to avoid paying taxes, avoid paying workers fairly & allow Big Tech..to buy their way out of…protections for workers” Beth Griffith Uber driver/Chair of @DriveBIDG on proposed MA ballot measure. bostonglobe.com/2021/08/02/m…

Yesterday we were proud to stand with rideshare drivers across the US as the strike for a living wage, basic benefits, job security, and transparency from gig companies.

Driver and @DriveBIDG Chair Beth Griffith: “We are sick of not having the benefits that other workers in this state are entitled to. We are sick of them skirting the law and not treating us with dignity.” #mapoli

Surge pricing is back in Massachusetts.
And while the extra money may help draw some drivers back to the streets, neither Uber, Lyft, nor @DriveBIDG expect it to solve the driver shortage boston.com/news/local-news/2…
