‼️‼️RIDESHARE DRIVER CARAVAN HAPPENING NOW! 🚘📣 Rideshare drivers are in Lynn, MA with 32BJ @cpajustice and Machinists Union ready to fight for better working conditions!

The ugly truth is that for too long, profit-hungry apps have gotten a free ride at the expense of drivers by denying living wages or a voice at work.

Rideshare drivers are consistently left with no recourse when they speak out against unfair treatment from their employers and demand better. Right now, companies are getting away with paying drivers less and less while they take more from drivers and passengers.

DYK: Drivers like Lisbeth are standing up to greedy rideshare companies and working with 32BJ, Machinists Union and @cpajustice to pass the Rideshare Justice Bill, a groundbreaking new law in MA to give drivers a voice at work.

Companies are getting away with failing to keep drivers safe, with failing to give drivers benefits, with unfair deactivation processes that can rip away livelihoods with the touch of a button. Through a union, all this can change!

This bill will create the framework so that drivers can chose their union to bargain at the table for better compensation, better benefits, job security and protections against unfair treatment that only a union can provide.

The Rideshare Drivers’ Justice Bill (SD 1162, HD 2071) would also establish minimum standards around wages, paid sick leave, paid family and medical leave, workers’ compensation and unemployment insurance.

March is Women's History month, and we're looking back on the impressive wins for equality made by women — in our union, in the labor movement, and in our country. With pride, we're looking to the future and thanking the women before us for showing us the way.
