UBER, LYFT AND VIA DRIVERS RALLY AGAINST SHAM "RIGHT TO BARGAIN "-FOR-LESS BILL AUTHORED BY THE COMPANIES

NEW YORK: Today, Monday, June 7th, at 1:00 PM, Uber, Lyft and Via drivers will hold a rally and press conference inside the Capitol Building calling on lawmakers to reject a bill being floated by the companies that would leave drivers with less pay, gut the Unemployment they have already won as employees under state Unemployment Insurance Law, and set up a sham bargaining process that favors company unions and strips the drivers out of a right to strike and protest. While the drivers and delivery workers - represented by New York Taxi Workers Alliance and Los Deliveristas Unidos / Worker Justice Project respectively - and their broad coalition of allies including Local 32BJ of SEIU, UAW, CWA, Workers United, Make the Road New York, Community Services Society, a group of labor scholars, New York Civil Liberties Union, and National Employment Law Project - have forced the bill to be shelved already, they are taking no chances during these final session hours.
