NEARLY 60% OF CALIFORNIA VOTERS overwhelmingly passed Proposition 22 –protecting the ability of app-based rideshare and delivery drivers to remain independent contractors, providing drivers new benefits, and preserving the availability of app-based services. Prop 22 was supported by nearly 120,000 California app-based drivers.
but it remains under threat
PROTECT APP-BASED DRIVERS + SERVICES (PADS) is a coalition of drivers, social justice, small business, public safety and community organizations organized to ensure the will of California voters is upheld, to protect access to independent, app-based jobs, and to preserve the availability, affordability, and reliability of on-demand app-based rideshare and delivery services.
We’re focused on protecting:
The will of the voters
Independent work
Critical app-based jobs
Essential app-based services
App-based jobs & services are key to supporting the state’s economy as thousands of Californians rely on income generated by rideshare & delivery. With services & income threatened, protecting independent work is vital for our communities. #ProtectAppWork
