Massachusetts Drivers United launched in Fall of 2021 to bring the fight to #BigGig and win justice for app workers. We are committed to winning full worker rights, fair pay, and a union contract for all app-based drivers in Massachusetts.

Uber, Lyft, Doordash, and other companies are launching an assault on driver rights.

H1094 – An Act Establishing A Driver Bill of Rights – is our best bet to organize drivers into a fighting worker union. Whether drivers want to be classified as employees or as an independent contractors, we can all agree that app-drivers deserve worker rights, fair pay, and respect. You can learn more and sign our petition here.

Massachusetts Drivers United is committed to building a grassroots, democratic union which is fully independent of Uber, Lyft, and the other #BigGig companies. We totally reject the company union model. We are building a union run by and for the workers.

We know that we cannot stand alone against #BigGig and the rigged system. Therefore, we stand in solidarity with the International Alliance of App-Based Transport Workers.

Our organization is officially chartered with the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. We operate in a democratic fashion, and our by-laws can be viewed here.
