Hundreds of thousands of independent contractors for ride-hailing companies in California could be part of a union next month, putting to bed a years-long struggle for a place at the bargaining table to fight for better pay and benefits.
The California Gig Workers Union, which represents thousands of app-based drivers in the state, met a required 30% threshold of active drivers who are supportive of the effort, according to the state’s Public Employment Relations Board. Under a state law that went into effect this year, that support sets the stage for state regulators to certify the union within 30 days.
Drivers for ride-hailing giants like Uber and Lyft and other companies are classified as independent contractors and don’t qualify for overtime pay and other protections granted under federal law. However state lawmakers passed AB 1340 last year, giving drivers a path to form a union and bargain for protections.
HERE is where the problems begin.
