BREAKING: Drivers and consumers have filed a lawsuit over language in #Prop22 that unconstitutionally limits the power of state government and denies drivers their constitutional rights.

#Prop22, written by @Uber, @Lyft, and @DoorDash denies drivers the rights they deserve under California law and makes it nearly impossible for lawmakers to fix these problems.

Specifically, #Prop22 illegally withdraws the legislature’s authority to establish a system of workers’ compensation to protect gig workers. Which could leave drivers with limited relief if they’re hurt on the job.

#Prop22 also illegally strips the legislature of the ability to legislate the right to collectively bargain – something that wasn’t within the stated purpose of the ballot initiative.

Finally, #Prop22 illegally limits the power of elected officials and the judiciary around potential future measures to protect gig workers. It’s an unconstitutional attack on Californian’s rights

If #Prop22 is left unchecked, it will grant permission to companies like Uber and Lyft to dismantle workers’ rights across the country, setting back the labor movement decades and setting up a rapid acceleration of income inequality.

. @Uber and @Lyft spent $200M+ to create a law for their own benefit, but drivers and consumers are fighting back. If giant corporations are allowed to bankroll propositions that circumvent the CA constitution, it sets a precedent that any right can be rolled back.

We’ve seen unconstitutional laws pass before, like Prop 187 and Prop 8 – both of which were struck down in court. Our rights are not negotiable and it’s our belief that #Prop22 will meet the same fate. When we fight, we win!
