Massachusetts has become the first state to approve collective bargaining for drivers for ride-hailing services, while maintaining flexibility and contractor independence. This might be a model for other workers in the evolving, internet-based economy. #uber #lyft #gigwork #rideshare

🤣 Uber's #AI #budget is like a teenager's allowance: gone before you can say "rideshare." 🚗💨 Apparently, the COO is grappling with the math—turns out #spending on futuristic #tech is hard to justify when you're still trying to figure out how to turn a #profit. 📉💸

Victoria #yyj Uber drivers and the UFCW have made the first contract with Uber in Canada!

"'The historic thing that stands out for me is that they managed to get Uber to sit at a bargaining table.’”

"Victoria drivers were able to unionize because of a 2023 change in B.C.'s Employment Standards Act that considered online platform workers employees rather than independent contractors… The legislative change there was critical’””
