Anecdotally when I talk to Uber drivers about how they feel about laws like this, they are staunchly against it, in fact I haven't found one that is for it (sample size of maybe 20 or so). Does anyone have any data on whether these drivers actually want AB5 in effect? All I see from the pro side are cherry-picked examples.
- wavepruner 6y agoAs an Uber driver, I can tell you, the majority of drivers are against AB5, but that doesn't fit into the mainstream media or Democrat's agenda, so you'll rarely hear that fact. The driver's that are for AB5 tend to be newer one's who have yet to figure out their market and how to be profitable.

It would make sense that they would support it if >95% of the messaging they got about Prop 22 was from their employer who stood to gain hundreds of millions from its passage.
