On the first episode of Season 3 of Mixtape, we talked to two drivers, one on each side of the proposition. Vanessa Bain is an Instacart shopper who is opposed to Proposition 22. Earlier this year, she co-founded Gig Workers Collective, a nonprofit to fight for fair pay and better treatment for gig workers. She says the future of labor is at stake. On the other side is Doug Mead, an Uber Eats and Postmates driver who lives in Palm Springs and sits squarely in the Yes on 22 camp.
