Thank you for giving us the chance to work
for better working conditions.
Now the real work begins as we organize ourselves into a union.
Joining together to build the App Drivers Union!
It was illegal for contractors of anykind to unionize. Our victiory with Ballot Question #3 ended that. Welcome the App Drivers Union.
We need to sign 4000 drivers to union cards. This tells the State of MA we want a union.
After getting 4000 drivers signed we will then get access to the list of drivers. From there we need to get 18,000 to want to join.
Return to the rates of 2015. Passengers were happy and so were drivers.
Drivers are being deactivated without a means of recourse.
No more ride brokering where the companies make up the fare on the fly. Base the fare on time and distance.
The App Drivers Union is supported by the Service Employees International Union (SEIU), and the International Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers (IAM).

Stopped at this Panera Bread in Watertown Square. It’s so new that it’s not even on their app yet. This is all there is to it. There’s no tables no seating. It’s sort of like a ride I did this morning. Nothing to it. Not even any earnings. This is terrible. Harvard Square to Logan […]
McGrath Highway in Cambridge. On my way to a pit stop at the McDonald’s up the street. More and more I’m getting “guilt tips”. That’s where the customer knows how little the driver is paid and gives a large tip out of guilt. Here’s an example. This passenger gave a tip of nearly 75%!! The […]
