A rally on May 28 in Kensington highlighted tensions between City Council Member Shahana Hanif and Uber, as the company backed her opponent, Maya Kornberg, with over $129,000 in ads. Hanif, known for advocating labor rights for rideshare drivers and delivery workers, argued that Uber's support was an attempt to undermine her efforts to pass legislation granting workers essential rights such as paid sick leave and protections against unjust dismissals. Hanif's commitment to standing against corporate greed was echoed by several union endorsements, emphasizing the significance of worker representation.
Uber's spending to support a primary opponent of City Council Member Shahana Hanif aims to undermine her labor advocacy efforts for gig economy workers.
Hanif emphasized her commitment to fighting for workers' rights, stating that Uber's financial intervention shows their fear of worker empowerment through legislation.
