We're Making History
Uber and Lyft drivers in the California Gig Workers Union have taken the first step of filing for union recognition with the state of California.


Gig drivers won the legal right to form a union and bargain with gig companies like Uber and Lyft with AB 1340
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. In 2025, 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.
Together we’re organizing to make sure that gig drivers throughout California have a say in all of the decisions that impact our safety, our pay, and our livelihoods.
