We are a group of drivers for ride-hailing apps like Uber and Lyft who have come together to confront low wages, a lack of benefits, unsafe working conditions, and job insecurity.
Companies like Uber and Lyft hide behind technology so they can avoid responsibility to their drivers. They declare themselves “apps” and not employers so they don’t have to abide by the Employment Standards Act and treat workers with dignity. And they’ve gotten away with it. Until now.
We’re fighting for fairness for ride-hailing drivers. Learn how you can join us below.
Our objectives:
- Union Protection
- Currently, drivers can be terminated without due notice based on false or inaccurate customer reports. Your Union will fight for you and ensure that big corporations like Uber use proper processes to resolve customer and driver issues.
- Safe Workplace
- App-based drivers are one of the most at-risk workers and should be protected by the Workers Compensation Act and the Occupational Health and Safety Regulation, the same basic protections all workers in British Columbia receive.
- Fair Wages & Benefits
- App-based drivers deserve fair wages and it’s not fair for big corporations like Uber to reap huge profits while their drivers struggle to make a living. Every driver also deserves access to paid sick days and health benefits.
