Drivers for Uber and Lyft rally behind Roxana Rivera, assistant to the president of 32BJ SEIU, on July 2, 2024 before filing the final batch of voter signatures needed to place their unionization question on the ballot.
"I appreciate all the work the lawmakers did on this. It's a complicated and complex problem. But we really have 'til tomorrow to turn these signatures in, and there's nothing going to be finalized or done by tomorrow," Vartabedian, assistant directing business representative of International Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers' Massachusetts Union District 15, told the State House News Service."We really feel like we have no choice.
"The workers need a right to collectively bargain to determine their future and to have a seat at the table with these companies," said Roxana Rivera, assistant to the president of 32BJ SEIU and another coalition leader."These companies continue to evolve very quickly, and this directly impacts drivers. They want a voice in all those changes going forward. They want to have a voice in improving their working conditions going forward.
Vartabedian said he thinks the ballot should now be"less confusing" without two intertwined, complex driver-related proposals for voters to decide at once.
