"historic agreement between workers and business that only California could deliver."
"represent a compromise that lowers costs for riders while creating stronger voices for drivers."
Governor Gavin Newsom signed a bill allowing ride-hailing drivers in California to unionize while remaining classified as independent contractors. The action is part of a broader agreement between lawmakers, unions, and ride-hailing companies that also enacted separate bills reducing insurance requirements for Uber and Lyft. More than 800,000 drivers will gain the legal right to join unions and collectively bargain for pay and benefits. Company representatives characterized the bills as compromises balancing lower rider costs with stronger driver representation. Massachusetts voters approved similar ride-hailing unionization rights via a ballot measure last fall.
