When Union Bosses Overstep Their Bounds, Organized Workers Have Final Word

It was back in May of last year that I remember TWU negotiating with Uber and Lyft to back a Prop 22-like bill that sought to disallow collective action.

RDU organizers and their coalition partners quickly took to twitter challenging this union boss and demanding to know where the workers he represented were. It was a matter of days before support for the bill was retracted thanks to real drivers having spoken out.
