Our Fight

 

The App Drivers Union is created by and for app drivers in Massachusetts. We won the right to collectively bargain over our wages and working conditions in November, and now, we’re organizing to make the companies listen to us and negotiate.

The ADU is backed by two of the largest and most powerful unions in the country: 32BJ Service Employees International Union and the International Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers. By joining together with the thousands of app drivers across Massachusetts, we will secure a better future for all app drivers in MA.

Our Story

Against all odds, drivers are fighting for the right to unionize! Unlike most workers, rideshare drivers for companies like Uber and Lyft cannot join or form a union anywhere in the United States…yet. Massachusetts drivers are paving the way, and are on the historic road to securing our union. Drivers have overcome every obstacle to get here, and we still have more work ahead to achieve the union we rightfully deserve.

After winning the right to collectively bargain in November, we’re organizing all app drivers in MA to join the App Drivers Union. Join us today!

“​​With a union, we can make Uber and Lyft hear our voices. Together, we can protect each other. Together, we can fight for better pay.”

"Last year, I was deactivated for no clear reason. I was left jobless for five months, with a baby on the way and only my partner's income to support us and our kids. Women drivers like me need a union to address deactivations. And we need a union so we don't have to face sexual harassment and assault from passengers.""

“We cannot wait any longer to begin to exercise our union rights – the same union rights that have provided millions of workers in Massachusetts and across the country with secure, good-paying jobs,”

“We are mothers like me, we are fathers, we are sons and daughters, and we deserve to be treated with dignity and respect. In a union, our isolation would end. The tech companies would have to negotiate with us collectively to set our pay and working conditions, including a sensible process to settle disputes.”

"It seems like Uber and Lyft change the rules all of the time. And we need our union to address those changes."
