Image: Members of Rideshare Drivers United are gathered on a street corner near a white pickup truck, holding various protest signs advocating for better pay and rights, and in support of policies like the Empowering App-Based Workers Act. The signs include messages such as “Dignity for Drivers,” “Fair Pay Now,” “No Deactivation Without Representation,” and critiques of Uber and Lyft’s pay practices. One sign highlights that drivers make $6.20 an hour while the Uber CEO makes $11,538.46 an hour. Another sign opposes Proposition 22 with a red circle and slash over “Prop 22.” The setting is outdoors on a sunny day.
