WORKING FAMILIES WON TONIGHT!

The City Council just voted YES on the temporary vehicle cap and a fair pay floor. When workers come together and fight, we win!

“We cannot allow the so-called ‘gig economy’ companies to exploit loopholes in the law in order to strip workers of their rights and protections.” — Jim Conigliaro Jr, IDG washingtonpost.com/news/dr-gridlo…

Great job IDG and New York City Council for paving the way for the first minimum wage in the app-based industry! Fox News contributor says drivers should just quit video.foxbusiness.com/v/581975573500…

By 2027, according to the Tax Policy Center, 90 percent of its benefits will go to the richest of Americans. Because the changes will be incremental, they are not likely to be noticed by the vast majority of citizens until it is too late. sojo.net/magazine/septe…

When workers come together they win! Drivers pack TLC to demand nation’s first min wage and annual increases! Go IDG!

The sea of red shirts = Uber and Lyft drivers with IDG who petitioned the city and put in countless hours over the last two years fighting for the nation's first livable wage rules for app-based drivers #1u Machinists Union / IAM Union #gigeconomy

`The place where workers wait to pick you up at LaGuardia Airport changed again this week. During renovations, Delta paid for cabbies to have bathroom facilities with running water, but IDG members get no such dignity.

A rating of 4.6 out of 5 stars sounds very good to most of us, but on the Uber app it can be a fireable offense. For too long Uber and Lyft have treated drivers as expendable and IDG is working to fix that- from raising pay to classes like this: abc7ny.com/traffic/poorly…

As a step toward empowering our community to address this crisis, we invite drivers to join us for a training on Mental Health First Aid on 11/30 offered in partnership with ThriveNYC. Drivers who are feeling depressed or distressed are encouraged to call 1-888-NYC-Well

Wow! Over 70,000 of NYC’s working drivers will receive a $9,600 raise next year! So many thanks to Brad Lander NYC Taxi & Limousine Commission & IDG drivers who showed up and had their voices heard!

Wage stagnation did not just happen. It's the result of decades worth of policy decisions that have weakened workers’ leverage and decimated their bargaining power. wapo.st/2QYb6Z4

Can you believe that any company has the nerve to SUE their city in order to AVOID paying their workers a minimum wage? Over 80,000 workers NEED THIS RAISE! Shame on YOU @Lyft

CHECK THIS OUT - the "company-specific" utilization rate that Lyft and Juno are suing on doesn't kick in until NEXT YEAR! So, they want to stop paying drivers a MINIMUM WAGE for something that might hurt them a year from now!! Complete disregard for hard working New Yorkers!

So true - Lyft & Juno have to pay drivers' earnings into a escrow acct while Uber and Via will pay drivers directly. Which means the Lyft lawsuit and TRO screws riders/consumers by giving them less choice

Drivers are workers, and to get less than minimum wage in a City as expensive as New York is wrong. I strongly support the IDG in their fight. vox.com/policy-and-pol…

Wow! Juno lawyers ask judge to extend Restraining Order against minimum wage for all drivers! Not just Juno or Lyft

“Lyft and Juno have effectively claimed that being forced to pay their drivers a living wage on each ride would put them at a competitive disadvantage. You can quibble over the details, but when you boil it down, that is the essence of the argument.”

Yep - bc it’s was never about congestion - it was about finding the biggest/easiest pool of money - even if it comes at the expense of the hardest working, most underpaid workers in NY

Uber and Lyft had record levels of ridership in NYC in February, the same month a Manhattan surcharge and driver minimum wage rules went into effect. nydailynews.com/new-york/ny-ub…
