App Drivers Union

Rideshare drivers throughout Illinois are organizing with SEIU and IAM for a legal pathway to unionization!

The Driver Resource Center is officially up and running! This center provides rideshare drivers across Chicagoland with the tools, resources, and support drivers need to know their rights on the job and build community with one another. https://t.co/5tDqSByx6S

Read Mary Wright's story, a Chicago-based driver, on why forming a drivers union has been long overdue, we deserve dignity and support.

Thank you @GovPritzker, we are ready to sign our union cards once the Rideshare Drivers' Union bill is signed into law!

[App Drivers Union @AppDriversUnion]

Hear from Andrew Spiro, a Springfield-area driver, about why the passage of our union bill was so important. There's still a lot of work to do to improve our industry, but this victory gives us a real pathway forward. Thank you, @GovPritzker, for your support.

UPDATE! With the passage of our historic bill, we’re proud to announce our new name: App Drivers Union! We’re joining our rideshare siblings in Massachusetts with a new logo and the same commitment to fighting for rideshare drivers.

Spread the word! We’re stronger together.

[App Drivers Union @AppDriversUnion]

We stand with our union siblings in D.C. who are fighting against the introduction of Waymo's autonomous vehicles in their city. We need to invest in PEOPLE, not ROBOTS.

[IAM Union @IAM_Union]

🚕 Washington, D.C. workers deserve a seat at the table.

We're urging D.C. lawmakers to oppose AV legislation as written and adopt strong safeguards to protect ride-share drivers, public transit workers and the District's economy.

[App Drivers Union @AppDriversUnion]

Waymo has had to recall 3,900 vehicles due to AT LEAST 13 of their cars driving into highway construction zones. We can't trust driverless cars to keep us safe on the road! Illinois must SAY NO to WAYMO.

Driver Michael Baumhart lost his Lyft rental car, income, and housing after his vehicle was unjustly repossessed while lobbying for union recognition in Springfield. No driver should face this alone, we need a union NOW. Read Michael's story here: https://t.co/XhyBND5Ypg

After passing our HISTORIC legislation this past May, we came together today for a rideshare driver brigade meeting to discuss the next steps toward union recognition.

By organizing together, we’re showing what worker power looks like, and we’ll keep fighting until we win!

[App Drivers Union @AppDriversUnion]

Illinois is only ONE of THREE states to pass legislation for rideshare drivers to form a union. Read from the Chief Co-Sponsor of our bill, @senvillivalam, as he discusses the importance of union recognition. https://t.co/GHRpZkT2SD

[App Drivers Union @AppDriversUnion]

Hear from drivers Ebony and Giovanni as they share what a union would mean for them and the rideshare industry as a whole. From stronger safety protections to a greater voice on the job and improved rider experiences, empowering drivers benefits everyone.

Thank you to @WBEZ !

At 2:30 a.m., the Rideshare Drivers’ Union Bill passed the IL General Assembly giving 100,000+ rideshare drivers the right to form a union. I’m so proud of these drivers for refusing to give up and who kept on pushing forward for a better future. This is worker power!
