Les travailleurs gagnent quand nous nous mobilisons et nous nous battons. L’année dernière, les membres d’IDG ont organisé et gagné à une loi de New York et une règle de Taxi et Limousine Commission qui ont forcé Uber et Via à ajouter une option de basculement à leurs applications, entraînant une augmentation de 30 à 100 $ par semaine. Maintenant, nous devons nous unir pour gagner un salaire minimum spécifique pour un véhicule de location, suffisamment élevé pour subvenir aux besoins de nos familles.
Le comité organisateur de la paye – le groupe de travailleurs qui s’organise pour gagner un salaire équitable – a approuvé une proposition visant à assurer que les travailleurs puissent subvenir aux besoins de nos familles. Voici nos principales exigences de la proposition:
L’IDG exige une augmentation de salaire minimum du conducteur – ce que les conducteurs sont payés par voyage, par minute et par mile après les frais et les suppléments – de 37% sur toutes les plateformes, y compris Uber, Lyft, Juno et Via.
L’IDG exige un tarif maximum. Nous devons empêcher Uber d’être en mesure de facturer à nos passagers plus que le double de ce qu’un travailleur est payé. Nous exigeons que Uber et les autres entreprises ne facturent pas à leurs passagers plus de 20% du salaire d’un travailleur.
L’IDG exige que les travailleurs reçoivent une rémunération pour frais de déplacement – nous sommes payés pour notre voyage de retour à New York alors qu’aucun passager n’est dans la voiture.
Vous pouvez trouver la proposition complète pour améliorer la rémunération ici. Si vous soutenez nos demandes, signez notre pétition, participez à la campagne et parlez-en à vos collègues conducteurs.
Los trabajadores del Volante ganan cuando nos unimos y luchamos. El año pasado, los miembros de IDG organizaron, ganaron una ley de la ciudad de Nueva York y una decisión de la comisión de taxis y limosinas que obligó a Uber y Via a agregar una opción de propinas a sus aplicaciones, lo que resultó en otros $ 30- $ 100 en los bolsillos de los conductores por semana. Tenemos que unirnos para ganar un salario mínimo para que los taxistas podamos mantener a nuestras familias.
El Comité Organizador de Pagos; el grupo de trabajadores que organiza para obtener un salario justo, aprobó una propuesta para garantizar que los trabajadores puedan proveer a sus familias. Estas son nuestras principales demandas de la propuesta:
El IDG exige un aumento salarial mínimo para el pago de los conductores (lo que los conductores cobran por viaje, por minuto y por milla después de las tarifas y recargos) en un 37% en todas las plataformas, incluidas Uber, Lyft, Juno y Via.
El IDG exige una tarifa máxima. Debemos evitar que Uber pueda cobrar a nuestros pasajeros más del doble de lo que se le paga al chofer. Exigimos que Uber y otras compañías no cobren a nuestros pasajeros más del 20% de lo que se le paga al los choferes.
El IDG exige que los choferes reciban pago de regreso a la ciudad de Nueva York, Cuando hayan tomado un viaje que los saque fuera del perimetro de la ciudad. aun cuando no haya pasajeros en el automóvil.
Puede encontrar la propuesta completa para mejorar el pago aquí. Si respalda nuestras demandas, firme nuestra petición, involúcrese con la campaña y cuéntele a sus compañeros conductores.

IDG Launches Enrollment Drive for NYC App-Based Drivers
New York, NY — Following President Trump’s cancellation of publicity around Obamacare open enrollment, the Independent Drivers Guild is launching its own open enrollment campaign to raise awareness of health insurance options for app-based drivers and assist in enrollment, including providing a translation service to assist drivers in 141 different languages. The Guild (IDG) represents and advocates for more than 60,000 app-based drivers in New York City and some 30 percent, or an estimated 20,000, of these drivers are uninsured.
Gig economy workers are rarely afforded employer-based health insurance and are one of the groups most likely to be harmed by the Trump administration’s decision not to publicize open enrollment. Many app-based drivers also have low household incomes which may make them or their dependents eligible for government subsidized health insurance such as Medicaid or CHIP, but they may not know that they qualify and many have trouble navigating a confusing enrollment system. Unlike most enrollment assistance offered to gig economy workers, the Guild’s enrollment effort will include assistance, at no cost to the workers, in completing applications for government subsidized health insurance options.
“The Trump Administration’s decision to cancel publicity around open enrollment will be especially harmful to workers in the gig economy. Drivers for apps like Uber and Lyft, even those who work full time, don’t have access to group health plans and many of them are uninsured,” said Jim Conigliaro Jr., founder of the Independent Drivers Guild. “We can’t allow political posturing to leave this growing class of workers and their families vulnerable and without healthcare. Getting the word out is particularly challenging in the gig economy because workers are isolated and do not work out of a central office, so we will be reaching out every way we can to ensure every driver hears from us.”
The Guild is committed to reaching out to its full membership of more than 60,000 app-based drivers to educate drivers about their health insurance options. The Guild’s open enrollment campaign will include outreach via email, text messages and phone calls as well as social media and in-person outreach to drivers at the airport lots and Uber’s greenlight hubs.
A recent Independent Drivers Guild survey of New York City drivers found that:
27% of drivers indicated they do not have health insurance, but want it.
56% indicated they care for a dependent under the age of 18.
73% of drivers reported working more than 10 hours on their most recent shift, but 56% reported being paid less than $150 before business expenses.
89% reported that being a For Hire Driver was their main source of income
57% identified their household income as less than $50,000/year. 22% of respondents reported household earnings of less than $30,000 per year.
To put the $50,000 figure into perspective: if the member is leasing their car, approximately 40% of their household income is dedicated solely to their lease.
The IDG’s health insurance enrollment drive is one part of a stepped up effort to expand benefits for drivers. The IDG has been fighting for benefits and protections for ride-hail drivers since its launch in May 2016. Earlier this year, the Guild advocated for upstate drivers to be covered by workers’ compensation through the New York State Black Car Fund (BCF). The Guild also worked with the BCF this year to expand workers’ compensation coverage to include a death benefit for the families of drivers killed on the job. Last year, New York City Council Member Corey Johnson introduced legislation to create a benefit fund for taxi and for-hire vehicle drivers and the Guild advocated for that bill and launched a petition campaign in support of the legislation. While that bill has not seen a vote, the Guild is actively engaged with the City Council urging passage of a benefit fund bill this session. The Guild has also negotiated discounts for members on many of the services drivers rely on, from phone plans and legal services to fight unfair tickets to tax preparation assistance and telemedicine services that allow drivers to get medical attention quickly.

The Independent Drivers Guild is a Machinists Union affiliate representing more than 50,000 app-based drivers in New York City. We are Uber, Lyft, Via, and Juno workers united for a fair for-hire vehicle industry.
In six years, the number of For Hire Vehicle drivers serving New York City went from 8,000 to 80,000, while the number of relief stands hasn’t changed. Relief stands are essential for bathroom access – but what can drivers do when one isn’t available? All drivers suffer from lack of access to a proper restroom.

For years, Uber resisted a tipping option in their app. But when drivers submitted 11,000 signatures to the TLC, they got the city’s attention – and it didn’t stop there. Learn more about the growing movement in New York City and hear what happens when drivers come together to fight for change.

The Independent Drivers Guild has been fighting for clean, regularly serviced bathrooms at the JFK cell phone lot. We deserve better and should not have to suffer the indignity and health risks of waiting at JFK with no access to real bathrooms. Call the Port Authority and demand that they install actual bathrooms with running water at JFK. 1-844-335-3514
