Massachusetts has now passed a landmark initiative allowing rideshare drivers to unionize as independent contractors, giving them a chance to leverage collective bargaining.
The initiative requires signatures from at least 25% of active drivers for union formation and establishes a process for drivers to address unfair work practices.
While the measure allows for unionization, some labor advocates warn that it may compromise efforts to achieve full employee status for rideshare drivers.
Uber and Lyft did not actively oppose the initiative, but expressed concerns about certain language, highlighting ongoing debates over labor protections for gig workers.
