On Sunday, labor leaders announced that approximately 1,000 Uber drivers had signed membership cards to join the Amalgamated Local of Livery Employees in Solidarity (Alles). After Uber settled a case for nearly $100 million with drivers in California and Massachusetts, workers won the right to form associations so that they could more easily bring issues to management's attention. Alles plans to work to better protect Uber drivers, and will also push for tighter regulations on ride-share companies.
