我们司机的诉求: 提高最低车费标准, 降低提成标准以及额外出城补贴

只要我们团结战斗, 我们就一定可以赢得胜利。去年, IDG工会组织帮助司机通过了一项纽约市关于出租车和豪华轿车委员会 (TLC) 的规定, 强制Uber 和 Via为他们的应用程序增加小费选项, 这给每位司机每周增加30到100美元的收入。现在, 我们必须再次地走到一起, 争取赢得足以为我们的家庭提供保障的黑车最低的收入标准。

薪酬委员会- 为了赢得公平待遇而组织起来的工人组织 – 提出一个可以确保司机为自身家庭提供足够收入的方案。以下是我们提出的关键要求:

La demande de conducteurs: une augmentation de salaire minimum, un tarif maximum, et une rémunération de Deadhead

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:

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.

Demanda de conductores: un aumento salarial mínimo, una tarifa máxima y un pago decente

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:

Uber, Lyft Drivers Harmed By Trump Obamacare Enrollment Cuts

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:

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.

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.
