It's about time -- I hope rideshare drivers unionize in California as well. A UC Berkeley Labor Center study (2024) found rideshare drivers take home $7.12 per hour in median net hourly earnings before tips, which is less than half of California's $16 minimum wage at the time. https://inequality.org/article/exposing-the-rideshare-indust...

Has nothing to do with what time it is. It was the voters voting. CA could do the exact same thing. Waiting for it to happen is a great way for it to never happen.
I think you misunderstood what I meant when I said “it’s about time.” It’s a saying that indicates that something is long overdue.
