27. Exactly. The Majority of Californians Agree

And simply calling uber drivers exploited without offering them something tangible once again illustrates why Prop 22 passed. I can just imagine the conversation with an uber driver.

"Dude. Stop working for uber because you are being exploited!"

"Bro, so what I am going to do for money?"

"I don't know. But, you won't be exploited!"

Now, if the Legislature had passed a law that confirms that Uber/Lyft drivers are independent contractors, but then uber and lyft tried to run a Proposition that was even more favorable, then I would understand.
