Hey there, welcome back to this week in rideshare and food delivery news. My name is Cecil Ligemella and here are this week's headlines. UC Berkeley study shows they've five dollar and 64 minimum wage if prop 22 passes. California Pills Court orders Uber and Lyft to reclassify again. A vote no on 22 protest in front of Uber HQ. It's this week in rideshare and food delivery news. The California Pills Court ordered Uber and Lyft to classify their drivers as employees. Now this court ruling will not go into effect before November 3rd, but it narrows the options that both Uber and Lyft have should their ballot measure fail. In addition, shares for both Uber and Lyft fail yesterday. A group of gig workers filed suit against Uber over yes on prop 22 app notifications. Yes, we talked about this last week. The group alleged that their employment rights were violated over in app messaging urging people to vote yes on 22. Now last week I showed you guys a screenshot of a yes on 22 thought mobile for a little Rex car and push notifications that were sent from the app. The group is seeking up to 260 million dollars in penalties. A study by Robert Reich, the Chancellor's Professor of Public Policy at UC Berkeley and senior fellow at the Blum Center for Developing Economies, along with his colleagues at UC Berkeley, suggests that under prop 22, Uber and Lyft drivers will be guaranteed a whopping $5.64 and a vast majority of drivers would not qualify for the benefits that they advertise. Prop 22 would allow companies like Uber and Lyft to continue to misclassify employees as independent contractors and eliminate the rights of millions of other workers who no longer be entitled to unemployment insurance, overtime, sick leave, protections against discrimination, and sexual harassment, or the right to collectively bargain for better wages and working conditions. A study by my colleagues at UC Berkeley found that under prop 22, Uber and Lyft drivers would be guaranteed only $5.64 an hour, a far cry from the $13 an hour minimum wage they'd otherwise get, and the vast majority would not qualify for the health benefits outlined in Proposition 22. Now I have included links to find out more about Mr Reich's findings below. Hundreds of Uber drivers rallied at Uber headquarters last week to oppose Proposition 22. The rights and protections that we've earned, but I'm here today to tell these billionaire corporations that they cannot write their own law. They can't take our democratic process and pervert it and twist it into something that works just for them. This democracy will never work if it does not work for everyone. Yes! Drivers from all over the state or in attendance, and one of the protesters suggested that both Uber and Lyft's CEOs should be taken away in handcuffs. Uber and Lyft have been breaking the law since January 1st, 2020. They've been breaking the law since before the pandemic. They should be taken to prison in handcuffs. Jamie, it's a big deal for me, you know. I am a single mother. I try to make a living and support my kids, you know, and I need this income. And now for this week's what would you do? I saw this on Facebook and I felt that this was a good one to ring back to the group. We are all a part of a very diverse community, but yet in still there are some people that feel vulnerable when they work with a general public. This driver writes, got a question I'm nervous about asking. I'm gay and sometimes feel I should act more masculine. Should I form my safety? So I'm happy to report that most of the feedback was positive across the board and the answers range from yourself. Trust your gut if you feel like you're in a weird situation. And I will go above with those. Like I don't have anything else to add to that at all. What kind of advice would you give to someone who thinks they might be a little different and they want to do this kind of work? How would you suggest they fit in or feel more comfortable with being themselves? Let us know in the comments. That is it for me.
