      As a product manager who worked for Uber for 5 years and lives in California: ❌ You should vote NO on proposition 22 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2020_California_Proposition_22 … The current law isn’t perfect, but we don’t solve that by giving these big companies a permanent labor regulation exception.

      Thijs - have you looked at the data on what drivers want? Doesn’t that tell you what matters most?

      Hey Mac! No disagreement that there are benefits to this type of work, however, I would much prefer to see that resolved through the regular legislative process as opposed to locking in this exemption through a referendum.

      Propositions in general are a broken system in my view, as plans that seem reasonable at the time (like prop 13!) turn out to be detrimental and hard to change in the long term. Even if we agree on the content of prop 22 now, I fear what happens 50 years down the road.

          >70% of drivers support Prop 22, today >150K drivers would lose the ability to earn if drivers were reclassified as traditional employees, almost overnight I understand you are concerned about the long-term, but the near-term consequences of P22 not passing are real/devastating

          Whether AB5 is good or not, a practically permanent exemption is not the answer for something so dynamic and disruptive as the gig economy. Our democratic process can adjust regulation if the consequences are unintended, but will be handcuffed with a proposition.
