Thank you to Governor Ned Lamont for discussing the reality of working as rideshare and delivery drivers with CDU leaders today. When it comes to driver dignity, we agreed it was time to put Connecticut in gear.
UPDATE: @CTComptroller is now looking into whether Uber and Lyft are misclassifying drivers as "independent contractors”
Yesterday we reported that CT’s unemployment fund may be missing out on hundreds of millions of dollars
The message is clear — it doesn’t matter if you’re a Democrat, Republican, or Independent — the working class in America must be respected.
Tune in tonight at 9pm CT as Teamsters General President Sean M. O’Brien addresses the American worker directly during the Republican National Convention from Milwaukee.
Listen to @Teamster’s president @TeamsterSOB Sean O’Brien call out @Uber & @lyft at the @GOP convention.
Never thought I would hear this kind of speech at a Republican convention.
The best deal rideshare drivers work under was negotiated by @teamsters117 in Seattle WA
Today! Our Uber members are protesting at Uber's HQ to demand Uber stop locking drivers off the app -in between fares or after break- so drivers don't appear as empty as they actually are so Uber can evade a TLC rule to pay them more. STOP THE LOCKOUTS! RAISE OUR PAY!
Carlos & Ken of @ctdufoundation speaking on organizing rideshare drivers in CT at the @ConnecticutDSA convention. Proud to stand in solidarity & we need to do so much more to organize & fight with rideshare workers.
We need in CT, some politician with the same courage and decision, to confront the uber and Lyft companies without fear 😧!!! I applaud Rep. Hodan Hassan. Minneapolis . Example for everyone !!!! https://t.co/aBRRc44YF6
