In a historic move, Uber and Lyft drivers in Massachusetts have officially formed the first ride-share union in the United States, known as the App Driver’s Union. This unionization represents a significant labor victory for gig workers, following a years-long campaign for better rights and protections amid increasing concerns over automation in the industry. Massachusetts has formally certified the union, marking a milestone that is expected to pave the way for similar movements across the country. Governor Healey has celebrated this achievement as a groundbreaking step for rideshare drivers, who now have a collective voice in negotiations with their employers.
