Chicago Gig Alliance

We believe gig work is real work; the folks who deliver your food, drive you to work, walk your dogs & keep this city running deserve a living wage. Join us⤵️

1/4: Since 2023, we've fought for the Chicago Rideshare Living Wage and Safety Ordinance, the driver-led piece of legislation that we hoped would come to a vote this month.

VICTORY! 100,000+ drivers across Illinois won the right to unionize through the passage of the Rideshare Drivers’ Union Bill.

This victory was made possible because drivers organized, showing up to share stories of low pay, unsafe conditions, and unjust deactivations.

WE JUST MADE HISTORY. Over 100,000 rideshare drivers in Illinois won the right to unionize with the passage of the Rideshare Drivers’ Union Bill.

We organized with @SEIULocal1 and IAM Local 701 through @driversillinois to take on the rideshare app giants and WIN.

Think Trump's "no tax on tips" policy will benefit rideshare workers? Think again, says @gig_chicago organizer Lori Simmons. Tipping culture encourages Uber and Lyft to offload paying their workers a living wage onto the customer. Read more in @Suntimes. https://t.co/F5v1tepDlK

When Muhammad Jawaid, a Chicago rideshare driver, was assaulted by two riders this spring, he didn't qualify for workers' compensation despite his injuries. Read more about how we're pushing back against rideshare companies in @capitalandmain. https://t.co/b8MXblPGOG

Imagine going to work each day not knowing how much you’ll get paid. Instead, AI decides your pay in unpredictable ways.

If you’re an Uber driver, you face this scenario every day. Learn more in this report from @powerswitchaction & @gigworkersrising.

In June, a coalition of rideshare drivers, grassroots organizations, and unions brought Uber to the table on statewide unionization, enabling drivers to bargain for pay and working conditions. Read about our six-year campaign getting there in @TheNation.

After relentless organizing by @peopleslobbyusa, unions, & community members, Uber is finally coming to the table!

This is what collective power looks like — & it's just the beginning. https://t.co/ASTarnzVuy

Uber and Lyft must do more to protect drivers from harm. Requiring passengers to verify their identities is the first step. Read this @stateline article featuring @gig_chicago's work to address the safety and labor issues that drivers are facing.

Thanks for your support of @DriversIllinois, Senator @RobertJPeters. Looks like I may be back in Springfield soon!

For years, rideshare drivers in Illinois have been united in their demand to have the right to form a union and to bargain with rideshare industry giants. We are one step closer! #UnionsForAll

[IAM Union @IAM_Union]

For years, rideshare drivers in Illinois have been united in their demand for the right to form a union and to bargain with rideshare industry giants. This announcement marks a significant step toward achieving economic justice for rideshare drivers ⚙️✊

[IAM Union @IAM_Union]

The coalition of @DriversIllinois will file legislation to secure bargaining rights for the more than 100,000 estimated rideshare drivers following Uber's agreement not to oppose ⚙️✊ https://t.co/uy7tsBaUkN

4/4: Our campaign to pass the FairShare Ordinance is over. But the fight is entering a new phase and on a larger scale. As part of @driversillinois—made up of us, @SEIULocal1, and @IAM_Union—we're working to secure bargaining rights statewide. https://t.co/PXMvkQ47Pd

3/4: Over the last few days, we encountered continued roadblocks, and it became clear our path to getting it over the finish line was in jeopardy. But we pressured Uber into a deal that paves a path to statewide bargaining rights for 100,000+ rideshare drivers across Illinois.
