Also this is the most affirming moment of my decade of research on these issues. Please pay attention. It’s coming for you next.

As someone who has spent years fighting on behalf of ride share drivers, this is incredible and disturbing. Even with Prop 22, this algorithm discrimination can be prohibited with a state law. Which legislator is willing to take on Uber & Lyft to protect workers?

One reason why Lina Khan is one of the 10 most innovative people of the last decade: "Over the last few years, the FTC has tried to show the public what it looks like for a government agency to be on their side." via Fast Company & issie lapowsky fastcompany.com/91175726/lina-…

Always worth mentioning amid the Teamsters dialogue: Kamala Harris was the Senate's tie-breaking vote on an $86 billion pension rescue that benefited the Teamsters more than any other union.

The Teamsters decline to endorse for president, saying that they had "few commitments on top Teamsters issues" from either candidate. Last week, Biden's NLRB ruled that the Amazon drivers are employees, enabling the Teamsters to organize 275k of them. cbsnews.com/news/teamsters…

A twist in the Teamsters story: Teamsters leadership has cited the Biden administration's role in preventing rail workers from striking in 2022 as a reason for their non-endorsement of Harris. The Teamsters affiliates that represent rail workers have just endorsed Harris.

One underappreciated part of the non-endorsement story is the tension w/the Teamsters top priority of organizing Amazon. The Biden NLRB has made that much easier, thru its joint employer rule. If Trump wins, his NLRB will very likely undo that rule, making it much harder.
