🚨 BIG WIN FOR DRIVERS: The NYC Taxi & Limousine Commission voted this week to enforce new protections against unfair app lockouts and deliver a 5% pay increase for Uber & Lyft drivers.
This change follows our organizing, our stories, our protests. JFAW helped make this happen!
Happy Driver Appreciation Day!
Proud to join the Independent Drivers Guild to celebrate the more than 50,000 hard-working @Uber_NYC, @lyft, and for-hire vehicle drivers who are always on the go in our city.
Together, we remain committed to fighting for fair pay and benefits.
@Uber is charging double and triple rates to riders, yet they won't allow us to go online.
They messed up our Eid holiday, and I couldn't buy a goat this year because of their exploitation.
This is injustice, and I hope @nyctaxi will fix it.
🚨 ACTION ALERT 🚨 JOIN US next Wed. for an action demanding an end to predatory leases and unlock EV plates for all ACTIVE drivers!
We’re calling on the NYTWA to STOP blocking the process for ACTIVE drivers to acquire electric vehicle (EV) licenses.

JFAW coalition members in UDWA and IADW spent this afternoon in Queens, telling other delivery workers about our movement, providing resources for workers, and more.
The movement to transform our industry is growing every day!

Today is the day! JFAW drivers are taking action outside an MTA review board meeting about the fate of the regressive double tax on individual rideshare drivers!
PROTECT YOUR PAY! Join us TODAY at 2:30pm at MTA HQ, 2 Broadway, New York City
We’re glad Roger Haysmer is safe. Unfortunately, this is something rideshare drivers go through too often.
We’re tired of seeing our friends’ obituaries when we KNOW that companies like @Uber & @Lyft can do more to protect us. ENOUGH IS ENOUGH!

We the drivers (The people of New York) demand to be exempt from CBD tolling program. @GovKathyHochul ? Did you receive FHV drivers’ petition letter, signed by over 10k drivers? If not, contact @DrivingGuild we will RUSH IT TO YOU! $0 cost!
New York is proposing a second tax on Uber and Lyft drivers! We’re already paying our fair share.
Join us tomorrow at 10AM in front of the Governor’s Office at 633 3rd Ave, New York, NY and make your voice heard.
Do not tax FHV drivers twice! @GovKathyHochul@NYCMayor@JoeBiden
I am an FHV advocate urging all of you to exempt us from paying double tax on congestion pricing. NY FHV drivers were the only drivers giving rides to essential workers amid the pandemic.
@DrivingGuild

@izzetusa@nyctaxi This is exactly why we called for limiting new TLC DRIVER licenses rather than capping TLC vehicles. It was a foreseeable problem, but the big taxi and fleet owner lobby, led by @NYTWA insisted on the ill-designed vehicle cap and here we are. Thx NYTWA 😡
https://t.co/7IwtJIdHlM
@nyctaxi We urged the commission to reserve all 1,000 EV licenses for existing TLC drivers and testified that a seniority process should be used rather than first come, first served. Now we demand @nyctaxi
fix this mess and reserve the next round of 400 licenses for existing drivers.
