California Gig Workers Union - SoCal

Major Victory! Gig workers won the support of CA Governor Newsom, Senate President Pro Tem McGuire, and Assembly Speaker Rivas in our fight for justice, dignity, and a voice on the job. We’re on our way to making history with the passage of AB 1340!

First responders shouldn’t have to deal with broken robotaxis. #SB1246 gives them the tools and puts responsibility back on AV corporations to take care of immobilized vehicles. techcrunch.com/2026/03/25/way…

@GigUnionNorCal @SenDaveCortese Autonomous vehicles are here. Safety rules should be too. California drivers and workers rallied today in five cities for #SB1246 — demanding accountability when robotaxis fail.

Gig drivers across California are speaking out. Today, members of the California Gig Workers Union rallied statewide in support of #SB1246 — a bill to bring safety, accountability, and transparency to autonomous vehicles. #SB1246 #AVSafety

We follow the rules, so should robotaxis! Today, we asked the CPUC to investigate reports that robotaxis are allowing unaccompanied minors to use their vehicles - violating their permit and putting kids at risk.

Drivers are an essential part of the ecosystem that makes LAX one of the biggest airports in the world. We deserve fair treatment! cagigunion.org/news/2026/03/1…

How do we fight back against unregulated AI and Big Tech greed? A union! @BernieSanders & his wife, Jane, recently sat down with CGWU drivers to discuss how we fight for dignity in an AI world. Join our fight by signing your union card: bit.ly/3NvUNlh

@GigUnionNorCal We can’t let Big Tech companies run over our democratic process! We need to ⏸️ AV rideshare rollouts until we have: 🔒 Job protections and economic impact assessments 🏛️ Real oversight 🔍 Public transparency 🚒 Emergency coordination ✊ Worker and community input

The December Waymo shutdown was a wake up call! Big AI companies are using our streets as testing grounds - putting safety at risk and threatening the livelihoods of hundreds of thousands of drivers, all without any input from workers, elected leaders or our communities.

Waymo stalls, safety falls! Drivers and community members are at the San Francisco Board of Supervisors for a hearing on the Waymo shutdown during December’s storms. We deserve answers and accountability.

A few short months after winning #AB1340, CA Gig Workers Union drivers are proud to stand with our fellow drivers united in @DriversIllinois as they introduce their own bill for union rights in Illinois! #UnionsForAll

TODAY, we are 100,000+ strong & we aren't backing down. We just introduced a bill for our right to unionize. We are the backbone of this industry. ✅ Fair Pay is a right. ✅ Safety is a right. ✅ A Union is a NECESSITY. We have the power to make this happen. See you at the Statehouse.✊

Rideshare drivers like Margarita are on the road daily. They see the issues these robotaxis bring into communities. That’s why, they’re calling for more rules and regulations before more robotaxi rollouts occur.

Our streets are not testing grounds! Driverless vehicles are putting our communities at risk during emergencies where they stall and block roads. We need more accountability for these corporations as they expand into other cities. @GigUnionNorCal

After a decade of relentless organizing, gig drivers in CA just made history. With #AB1340 signed into law, drivers now have the RIGHT to form a union, bargain with Uber & Lyft, and win real power on the job. This is what worker-led change looks like. #Unions4All #CAgigunion

We’re at LAX celebrating 800,000 gig workers in CA winning the right to form a union! #gigworkerunion #ab1340 #UnionStrong

This is worker justice IN ACTION. Gig drivers finally have a path to their union – to a voice and dignity on the job. Gig drivers built this win with courage, persistence and organizing – and leaders @BuffyWicks, @AlexBermanCA and Gov. @GavinNewsom helped make it law. #AB1340

BREAKING: Gig drivers WON. @GavinNewsom just signed #AB1340 into law – giving 800,000+ drivers the right to form a union and bargain with Uber & Lyft. Worker power made this victory happen.

BIG NEWS OUT OF CALIFORNIA! After a decade-long fight, gig drivers won the RIGHT to unionize and bargain with Uber & Lyft. AB 1340 has been signed into law by Gov @GavinNewsom. Across the country, drivers are making history!

Hundreds of gig workers are in Sacramento fighting for gig worker union rights! #ab1340 #cagigunion ✊🏻✊🏽✊🏼@GigUnionNorCal @seiucalifornia

Today hundreds of gig drivers from @GigUnionSoCal & @GigUnionNorCal rolled into Sacramento for their right to a union. They move California every day – and today, they moved the Capitol. #CaGigUnion #AB1340 #CaLeg
