Last night we held a driver meet up at the Shibam Restaurant in Bridgeview! It was a great time for us to connect with new drivers, answer people’s questions and build solidarity in our communities, as well as eat great food.
Solidarity across state lines! ✊ We came together to organize, align on shared goals, and connect with drivers from our sister union in Massachusetts ahead of their Nov. 17 rally. We’re proud to offer our support and stand alongside them. When we organize together, we win!
The App Drivers Union is proud to be a driver-led, driver-organized union, and we are fighting together to make the changes we need to see in our industry!
No more unfair wages. No more unjust deactivations.
We hosted a successful driver meetup in Aurora, Illinois today! Drivers got their questions answered and connected on our shared issues surrounding shrinking wages and unjust deactivations.
Strong driver engagement will Build Our Union!
This weekend, members were excited to speak with other drivers at the Tabaq Pakistani restaurant. We are looking forward to talking with more drivers about our shared concerns and how we are building power together!
If you see yellow, say HELLO!
A great morning spent with my labor family! @AppDriversUnion drivers and @seiuilcouncil members kicked off GOTV weekend with a rally for @JBPritzker and @cljmitchell. We have 3 days. Make your voice heard — go vote and let’s elect JB for Governor!
“This fight is about more than rideshare drivers. It’s about the dignity of work itself. This is why leadership matters. I am proud to be casting my vote for @JBPritzker and I hope you will do the same! Our futures depend on it.” - Rideshare Driver Eleanor Lara
3 days away from Election Day, and we are ready to knock doors for @JBPritzker! Governor Pritzker signed our historic legislation into law giving us the right to form a union! Don’t forget to get out and vote – and, if you need a ride… we rideshare drivers are here for you!
When you sign a union card with the App Drivers Union, you are joining a strong coalition of drivers who are fighting for our rights! Help us make the rideshare industry work for DRIVERS.

Our partner App Drivers Union in Massachusetts is fighting back against their city council's rushed push to bring Waymo to the DMV. PEOPLE should be prioritized over the use of driverless vehicles.

Listen to rideshare drivers Ebonie and Giovanni discuss the harsh impact of higher gas prices on our industry and countless drivers across Illinois.
Sign a union card at https://t.co/IopoBoBkwk to fight for higher rates that go up with inflation! Drivers deserve a living wage.
Yet another reason why we are uniting against robotaxis & pushing back against AI tools being used to maximize company profits. Drivers AND consumers pay the price when riders are charged different prices for the same trip.
They are also unsafe for riders. Say NO to WAYMO!
Self-driving cars or trucks operating in Texas are supposed to have emergency phone numbers to call in case they go haywire. But in NBC News tests, some were unstaffed, disconnected or listed incorrectly. https://t.co/giUp74zccj
Marching with hundreds of our @IAM_Union siblings in the fight against billionaires! Working people keep our economy and communities running, yet are underpaid and undervalued. Workers are ready for their fair share!
@IAM_Union Vice President Sam Cicinelli shouted out drivers in our fight at the Women and Young Workers Rally! “100,000 workers are discovering the power of standing shoulder to shoulder together.” We will WIN!
ADU Leader @GenieKastrup: “Workers who were told for years that forming a union in the gig economy couldn't be done stood together and changed the law.” Sign your union card TODAY at https://t.co/IopoBoBkwk, we can fight back against corporations and win better for every driver.
ADU members are marching in the @IAM_Union Workers vs. Billionaires Rally in downtown Chicago! We know that worker power is stronger, TOGETHER. We are taking on billion-dollar corporations because we are sick of crumbs; we want the whole pie!
Many drivers experience unjust deactivations with no formal appeals process or anyone to advocate for them. That's one of the reasons why we're organizing for a union!
