They won't give us a script unless we send a message to their drivers support of course.

Anyone have a link to the actual bill? Also what kind of timeframe are we looking at to see if this passes?
Thanks

Great you Californians will love this. You would be making less through reduced hours, and will be told when and where to work. No more switching to the other app. As employees you'd get fired for under performing. If you hustle, there'd be no extra reward. Drivers who use rideshare as a temp job will be left out. If you really wanted to work an hourly job, probably should have not signed on to a contractor position.

Another ant who doesn't get it.

So this is going to become a job with schedule...so some will make more money, but others will be out of the job. Nice. What everyone here fails to understand is that there is finite amount of money to go around. So right now if all they got is $100, and there is 100 drivers, everyone gets a $1... and everyone complains cuz it;s not enough... what will happen is, they will only allow 10 drivers to be online, so 10 will make $10, but guess what, other 90 will make 0. So to all these who want more, I hope you will be the ones of the 90 left with 0. At least now you all got opportunity to make something, when more regulation comes, only few will make more... and yes, I know all of you think you will be those lucky 10 making more, but guess what, only 10 of you can be 10, not all 100.... so good luck to all you 90 who will make 0.

All they have to do is STOP HIRING MORE DRIVERS. Even with higher rates, there will be attrition.

So its sounds like this will 100% pass and the differences will be you will have to wear an uber or lyft shirt while working, have a decal and set hours ahead of time for the downside. For the upside you will get paid time off, workers comp., insurance, retirement etc. Also will cost uber and lyft TONS of money ?

Look at what Austria just did to them. LMAO!!

Why you need them to stop accepting more drivers? why not decide for yourself when it is worth and when it is not worth being out there.

There are a number of reasons for Lyft and Uber to manage the number of drivers needed to service a trade area.

1. Only Lyft and Uber know the real number of riders, in a trade area, that they need to service at any given time. They do not share this information with the drivers.

2. If Lyft and Uber actually had to pay drivers while they are on the clock (on the app) waiting for a driver then they would surely manage them properly to make sure that they are positioned into areas that really have business and move them from areas where there is no business.

Gryft wanted to charge a pax $130+ from DFW to East Dallas last night while paying driver normal rate. I did pax a favor and cancelled ride. Drove pax there for $75 cash.

Yes. That's exactly what you do !!! Excellent move !!

Lyft just did a rate cut in San Diego, California ! Wow few day after they ask you to support them. Way to go !

Companies are not in business to make employees rich.

Work for a company if you are not happy move on.

I for one want nothing to do with being an employee for Uber and or Lyft. I like my freedoms.

The grass is always greener on the other side. When you get to the other side the same statement still applies.

Every job I left started as a great job for a small company, they get bought out and everyone is told it will be great nothing will change. Guess what it is all lies to keep people working until they get through the transition. Then the true colors come out.

If Uber and Lyft were smart, they would pull out of CA if this passes. that includes their corporate offices. The state officials in California are doing this for one reason and only one reason, MONEY! Look at all the money the state will rake in from employment taxes. Follow the MONEY people, this is not in the best interest of the drivers.

That's what ppl said about the changes in NY. Yet, they have not pulled out of the city or state, imagine that. No one is on a set schedule. The companies complain and file lawsuits to prevent it, but in the end it's just a shifting of money to where it belongs.

Uber/Lyft want you to do something and say it's for driver's benefit, there's a 99.999999999999999999997% chance it's NOT to our benefit but Uber/Lyft's.

Anytime they've said "this will help you/your earnings won't change" it's been bullshit. This is no different

How do I Like this post multiple times?

Lyft is very content on playing games until they get the driverless cars on the road.

• Once upon a time, a woman was picking up firewood. She came upon a poisonous snake frozen in the snow. She took the snake home and nursed it back to health. One day the snake bit her on the cheek. As she lay dying, she asked the snake, "Why have you done this to me?" And the snake answered, "Look, *****, you knew I was a snake."

1. Read what I replied to. What you're saying is not related at all. My point was no one has to get "fired" to limit drivers. Just stop the onboarding.
2. Eventually there up is NO TIME it is worth being out there. My town is 99% there now.

Then wake up and *gasp* take the little hint Lyft sent in that "pathetic" email, and let California know!!!

The email said to express it in your own way after all.

Lyft states, "We want you to say what you value about your work with Lyft..."

I would not be surprised if only those responses that fit what they want will be forwarded to the state legislature. The rest will never see the light of day.

If you have something honest (aka negative) to say don't do it through Lyft. Send it directly.
