Over 40,000 drivers in NYC will now receive free access to a doctor and vision insurance thanks to @NYBCF and @DrivingGuild. Living wage continues to be the fight but this is a good experiment in creating a social safety net for struggling workers - abcn.ws/2yUQbON

@davecraige @theaverystudio @DrivingGuild @DriversUniteUSA @LimoPhila @alirazak27 Also, I'm confused about your no-strike comment? According to the BNA, approximately 89% of all union contracts in the United States contain no-strike clauses?

@davecraige @theaverystudio @DrivingGuild @DriversUniteUSA @LimoPhila @alirazak27 These platforms continue to take advantage of the turnover of workers and it doesn’t allow for a consistent voice on behalf of the workers.

@davecraige @theaverystudio @DrivingGuild @DriversUniteUSA @LimoPhila @alirazak27 Uber obligations are only about 25% of our budget. Honestly, I wish it was 20 million. I think we need to start seriously thinking about taxing these platforms and providing that money to independent worker organizations to ensure their workers have a voice in the workplace.

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…

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

@davecraige Really shows the importance of organizing - In NY, @MachinistsUnion partnered with industry to create protections. Being a father of 4 kids, I know nothing could fill that void but in NY, the family would have received over $50k and weekly payments for the rest of their life

“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.”

@nyctaxiphoto @DrivingGuild Pls Send your receipts to @DrivingGuild

IDG@DrivingGuild·2 Şub

BREAKING - Juno seems to be giving up the fight - they emailed drivers to announce they are agreeing to pay no less than the city minimum wage rates. We'll be checking pay receipts... Thank you to all who signed on to our petition and put pressure on these companies.

@saraashleyo @juno @lyft Thanks - Seems like Lyft could pay its own version of “minimum wage” and pay the rest into an escrow

@JimConig @juno @lyft FWIW the judge affirmed the previous TRO: iapps.courts.state.ny.us/nyscef/ViewDoc…

Jim Conigliaro, Jr.@JimConig·1 Şub

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

sara ashley o'brien@saraashleyo

At the court house now, lawyer representing Juno asks judge for TRO that applies to entire industry in NYC over driver minimum wage law, otherwise petitioners will lose marketshare while waiting for an outcome to the suits filed this week

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

English

Jim Conigliaro, Jr.@JimConig·1 Şub

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

Bruce Schaller@Bruce_Schaller

Result will push drivers to Uber where wages will be higher, all the while undermining company claims about being driver-friendly. A corporate strategy that eats into market share and damages the brand seems pretty off, especially in year of IPO.

@uchida112 Just trying to do my best to help drivers that I spent the better half of my life fighting for...sorry to disappoint

@YemeniBrooklyn @JimConig @lyft @Uber @juno Even if Uber was part of this (or any) lawsuit, @JimConig would not say a word, because his “union” (wink-wink) is FUNDED BY UBER. He once led a “strike” against Lyft for refusing to pay him, sorry, the “union”. How did that strike go by the way?

English

Jim Conigliaro, Jr.@JimConig·30 Oca

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

English

Jim Conigliaro, Jr.@JimConig·31 Oca

@tiEliza What’s weird is you continue to focus your attention on IDG while the companies tear drivers apart but have at it

English

Jim Conigliaro, Jr.@JimConig·30 Oca

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!

English

Jim Conigliaro, Jr.@JimConig·30 Oca

@YemeniBrooklyn @lyft @Uber right now the lawsuits filed are only by @Lyft and @juno

English

Brother Ahki@YemeniBrooklyn·30 Oca

@JimConig @lyft What about @Uber ?? They lead the market as far as policy. Everybody else just follows their lead

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
