Portland Uber and Lyft drivers will rally outside of City Hall today to speak up about low pay, secretive corporate culture, and gaps in insurance coverage in ride-hailing companies operating in the city. The AFL-CIO is supporting the drivers’ effort, called the Transportation Fairness campaign, which is urging city officials to delegate a board to protect workers at these companies. The union slowed Uber and Lyft’s entry into the municipality for over a year, although the ride-hailing giants finally gained entry into the city in 2014.
