Governor Gavin Newscum signs legislation to allow ride share drivers to unionize

I just signed legislation allowing the 800,000 rideshare workers in California to unionize.

California is determined to give working people a voice, to give them choice, give them dignity, and give them a say about their future.

Scott Adams says “So we’re 1-2 years away from every Uber and Lyft driver losing their job because they can’t compete with self driving taxis. And Newsom wants to make it more expensive for Uber and Lyft to maintain those drivers.”

I know a guy who lives in SFico, his comment is already “Why would I want meat to drive me around?”

Early Waymo user.

His comment is understandable given who tends to show up driving an Uber or Lyft there, these days.

It'll be a cold day in hell before a self-driving taxi delivers where I live 3.5 miles down a tortuous one-lane mountain road with relatively few turnouts.

“working people, “ the favorite phrase of leftist union bosses and demonrat politicians, as if the only people that “work” are those represented by unions and leftists.

Uber/Lyft is now just as expensive as taking a taxi.

The headline should say:

Governor Gavin Newscum signs legislation to allow lefty unions to force ride share drivers to pay exorbitant dues that will be donated to corrupt Demonicrat politicians.
