Drivers also sued Uber for the barage of texts sent to them trying to sway their support on the issue (3). 1. https://i.imgur.com/JlZIpAI.jpg https://i.imgur.com/JlZIpAI.jpg 2. https://www.backstage.com/u/alisha-elaine-anderson/ https://www.backstage.com/u/alisha-elaine-anderson/ 3. https://www.washingtonpost.com/technology/2020/10/22/uber-prop22-suit/ https://www.washingtonpost.com/technology/2020/10/22/uber-pr...
- naturalauction 6y agoI hated the Prop. 22 campaign as much as anyone else (the notifications from the Uber app were especially egregious) but just because someone is an actor doesn't mean they can't drive for Uber. I remember reading that a lot of actors (who aren't super wealthy) actually drive for Uber as the hours are very flexible.
