Alaska AFL-CIO:
This is a HUGE win for the labor movement here in Alaska! Time and time again, @GovDunleavy has tried to subvert the law and undermine working people. Good thing we have advocates like @JakeMetcalfe4 to set the record straight! #UnionStrong #1Uhttps://t.co/Xg89ZsFsOd

.@Instacart lied. @DoorDash lied. @Uber lied. @lyft lied. Prop 22 was simply a $220 million scam by some of the wealthiest companies in the world to cheat workers out of basic protections in law #SickofGigGreed https://t.co/17CVDbXqWv
