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).

Today’s photo is of the original and first ever Dunkin’ Donuts. It’s in Quincy Massachusetts. It has the original styling and they just did some remodeling. It’s just more history in the Boston area.  Passengers are encouraged to ask the driver how much they’re getting paid. For the first time I had a passenger […]
It’s a misty morning at 6:00am in Boston. Hopefully the adverse weather translates to higher demand. Here’s an Uber ride which is very similar to the Lyft ride I wrote about in a previous post. That one was 9.4 miles and this one is 9.23 miles. Both had tunnel tolls. The upfront fare is $10.61. […]
