Day 8 of my personal BOYCOTT of @uber, standoff continues. I am not allowed to Go Online unless I give Uber override permission over all other apps on my phone. Is this an attempt by Uber for me not to be able to multi app? I can't think of any other reason! dara khosrowshahi FTC U.S. Department of Labor

"By locking drivers out, Uber & Lyft are costing you hundreds of dollars a week. They're also covering up how much empty time you have today so they don't have to pay you more next year." This is why we're ready to strike. RT to help bring our demands to the companies: (1/2)

BIG NEWS: Decision from California Supreme Court on Prop 22 will be out today, Thursday, 10 am pacific time. Way sooner than predicted. Light a candle for full labor rights even if you are managed by an algorithm. Rideshare Drivers United will do a quick brief on it at noon. #Justice

Uber’s shareholder meeting is tomorrow. Will the corporation listen to drivers like Kareem Sawadogo by taking steps to end unfair deactivations? 1/5

Uber and Lyft drivers gave our all during the DNC, making sure visitors got where they needed to go despite road closures and high traffic. Chicago can show its support for our work by passing our ordinance ASAP!

Lyft is following Uber's lead in launching a weaker, optional version of the rider verification we've been calling for in our FairShare ordinance. It's a day late and a dollar short, but it shows that our organizing is working! abc7chicago.com/post/lyft-ride…

CGA leader Beto Casas in the Chicago Sun-Times today: "The program puts the onus on the driver. What it says is: We’re putting up this mediocre program but unverified riders can still get rides. And you accept them at your own risk. We don’t accept that.” chicago.suntimes.com/transportation…
