Great chart in the @latimes about the impact of Proposition 22 on app-based drivers pay. A driver who works 20 h/week would earn $195 less a week than they would with basic labor protections guaranteed under minimum wage employment laws. #NoOnProp22

Have you ever ordered food or groceries on an app📱? Did you know that many gig workers laboring for apps are exploited?
