California Ride-Share Drivers Win Union Rights
Update: 2025-10-04
Description
California ride-hailing drivers just scored a major win! A new bill signed by Governor Newsom grants them the right to unionize while remaining independent contractors, potentially boosting pay and benefits for over 800,000 workers. This landmark deal, a compromise between lawmakers, unions, and companies like Uber and Lyft, also lowers insurance requirements, aiming to balance driver needs with affordable ride costs. With Massachusetts already taking similar steps, is this the future of gig work?
