Ah thank god lol im prob voting Yes on 15 and no on 16 I really dislike affirmative action people should be hired on their merit not race good to see their both were their at im really interested in how Prop 22 is doing. Theirs a lot of anti uber sentiment here after they threatened to pull out of the state people feel like Uber is blackmailing us but again I have a lot of friends dependent on Uber for their jobs.
The thing with 22 is that Uber, Lyft and these other places like doordash were never intended to be full time jobs and if these companies abide by AB5, which has been a disaster, they would have to fire lots of workers that they couldn't afford and all current drivers would probably have to apply for a job instead of just signing up and being able to do it whenever they want. So there would be no guarantee that you get to drive for a place like Uber and of course rides would be more expensive. Basically the legislature is trying to turn Uber and Lyft into taxis. By a 4-1 margin app based drivers want to be independent so it's clear that the majority don't want to be employees as AB5 requires. AB5 was a solution for a problem that didn't exist and in reality the legislature just wanted to target companies like Uber and Lyft but knew they couldn't do that so they came up with AB5 not realizing how many industries it would effect.
Yeah exactly I agree most Uber Drivers I know use it as a part time hustle while they do college work before they have enough time to commit to a full time job I just really dislike Ubers reaction to the state governments attempt to regulate and essentially threatening us to pull out of the state im undecided right now but leaning No at the moment I might flip to Yes when I get my ballot though its just clear this is desperate move by Uber to prevent their workers from unionizing after they lost in the courts.
