Capping industry fees to protect consumers is very much a thing: capping insulin fees, late rent fees, credit card fees, fees on Epi pens/asthma inhalers… Why is Nelson’s first act to throw out a minimum wage law, instead of looking at common, precedented fee caps?

MLK Labor is proud to join local unions tomorrow to call for a ceasefire in Gaza and peace across the middle east.
I want to be very clear that any time you read something with my name that makes you go "wait what" and it's happening in Seattle, you're dealing with bizarro Sara Nelson

Don't worry everyone, Sara Nelson's gig worker minimum wage repeal isn't HER minimum wage repeal, it's the companies' and Drive Forward's minimum wage repeal! Phew!!
The app corporations want sooooo bad for low-wage workers to subsidize their execs’ & shareholders’ millions $$$

“What’s really clear now is that this proposal denies gig workers a minimum wage.”
“What’s really clear now is that this proposal denies gig workers a minimum wage.”
The proposed changes are the clearest example yet of the political pendulum swing in City Hall toward a more conservative approach that gives companies greater power. st.news/3JCai5J
another update: as Seattle proposes lowering the minimum pay rate for delivery workers, the advocacy group @workingwa compared some receipts: they saw that only about half of DoorDash's fees went to workers. (DoorDash says these calculations are wrong.) vox.com/money/24118201…
Seattle CM Sara Nelson, trying to skirt the shame of being the champion of a subminimum wage proposal, just said it’s not her proposal, it’s the app corporations’ & Drive Forward’s (the Uber founded & funded lobby group). Which has been our point exactly 🙃
she says as she makes gutting the law the first thing she does

Melissa, opposing Nelson's wage cut: "This [repeal] is an indication of a glaring lack of awareness between gig workers and their corporate employers who are influencing this council. Across the board minimum wage seems like a basic fundamental issue to protect workers."

Larry Shannon, spokesperson for @wajustice, is speaking out against the inexplicable removal of gig workers' private right of action in Nelson's proposal, the enforcement mechanism that gives workers legal recourse when corporations violate our rights. Which they do. Often.

icymi, @NPR @MorningEdition Seattle's big fight about possibly paying gig delivery drivers less was on the air.
MLK Labor is proud to join local unions tomorrow to call for a ceasefire in Gaza and peace across the middle east.
I want to be very clear that any time you read something with my name that makes you go "wait what" and it's happening in Seattle, you're dealing with bizarro Sara Nelson
Sara Nelson agrees that we should call out the National Guard to address crime in Seattle.
Welp
Don't worry everyone, Sara Nelson's gig worker minimum wage repeal isn't HER minimum wage repeal, it's the companies' and Drive Forward's minimum wage repeal! Phew!!
The proposed changes are the clearest example yet of the political pendulum swing in City Hall toward a more conservative approach that gives companies greater power. st.news/3JCai5J
another update: as Seattle proposes lowering the minimum pay rate for delivery workers, the advocacy group @workingwa compared some receipts: they saw that only about half of DoorDash's fees went to workers. (DoorDash says these calculations are wrong.) vox.com/money/24118201…
It looks like DoorDash is recruiting people to speak out against the bill. Makes sense, it seems that more people are at City Hall opposing than in the last meeting. Here's a text a worker received:
NOW: Nelson's committee is about to meet to discuss her extreme rollback to the gig worker minimum wage. Her bill would give workers' a 24% wage cut, slash mile reimbursement by half the IRS standard, attack the Office of Labor Standards, and make it basically unenforceable
In the pursuit of profit at all costs, app corps like @Uber & @lyft are using the same 3 tactics over & over to exploit communities & interfere in our democracy. But we see their buying, bullying & bamboozling for what it is. We can fight back together 👉 powerswitchaction.org/resources/disr…
Nelson Bill Would Eliminate Minimum Wage for “Gig” Drivers—and Slashes Workers’ Rights New at PubliCola: publicola.com/2024/04/24/nel…
Those bullying and retaliation tactics from app companies in NYC? Turns out they're part of a national playbook used to exploit workers and confuse customers -- as revealed in this new report from @NelpNews and @powerswitchact
🚨NEW: Uber is throwing a fit in Minneapolis over paying drivers fairly. We’ve studied their tactics since 2018 & found it’s part of a larger pattern. Here are 3 tactics we found that corps like Uber & Lyft use to exploit communities across the country 👉powerswitchaction.org/resources/disr…

From Seattle to Chicago and NYC, workers like @LosDeliveristas @GigWorkersRise @NYTWA @_drivers_united @gig_chicago @CODriversUnited @workingwa @TheMulda @DriversUnionWA @ace_collab @ctdufoundation are building a movement to stop them!
It has been 10 years since Seattle workers won a $15 minimum wage, which fueled a nationwide movement. Join us on May Day to celebrate this anniversary and speak out against current efforts in Seattle to roll back worker protections. @workingwa @seiu775
Amazon Flex drivers in NJ recently held a rally outside of their delivery station, demanding a change to the low wages and dangerous working conditions. As one of them told me, "We’ll continue to fight until Amazon hears our demands and makes changes." jacobin.com/2024/04/amazon…
“I risked my life during Covid and I didn’t get paid, the app could cancel me anytime, I had no rights - fighting for this legislation gave me a home, hope and power!” Very powerful testimony at #labornotes2024 from Laura, domestic worker & Wei, app worker both with @workingwa
The nominees for the Labor Oscar for Ally of the Year are.... 🌟 @APALAnational 🌟 Partner in Employment 🌟 @350seattle 🌟 @workingwa We can't wait to celebrate on May 10! A limited number of tickets are still available at mlklabor.org/laboroscars
The chasm btwn labor rights in pro-worker & anti-worker states is a huge problem. It leads to a domestic type of "off-shoring" of jobs to places w/ low standards; it allows states w/ poor protections to undercut better conditions elsewhere. A race to the bottom hurts workers!
As governors, we speak up when we see special interests looking to threaten our states’ jobs & values. The UAW has come in making big promises they can't keep — we won't stand for that. #alpolitics My joint statement with other southern governors: bit.ly/3xKWanS
