We did it.
Governor Newsom officially signed AB 1340 into law, giving us — over 800,000 rideshare drivers across California — the legal right to form a union and bargain with gig companies like Uber and Lyft.


Gig rideshare drivers demand a voice on the job
For 10 years, we’ve been organizing to form a union of gig rideshare drivers in California to win fair wages, real flexibility, meaningful health benefits, and basic worker protections — which gig companies and others have spent millions of dollars to deny. This year, we won AB 1340, game-changing state law that gives us the right to form a union and bargain with gig rideshare companies like Uber and Lyft.
AB 1340:
-
empowers gig rideshare drivers with the right to unionize and organize for better working conditions, in addition to establishing a democratic process for gig drivers to choose their union
-
protects gig rideshare drivers from retaliation when they join together to organize
-
provides a process for drivers to bargain with rideshare corporations
