This weekend, to mark #WorkersMemorialDay, drivers from SF to Chicago are taking action & denouncing @Uber while calling on shareholders to help address the global health & safety crisis and vote FOR proposal 5, which calls for an independent H&S audit because #WorkShouldntKill.
"The #TTC is ready to accept bids. Mayor Chow has identified [new trains] as a priority. Provincial money is on the table. All that’s missing is a federal government that recognizes their role in making sure things don’t go off the rails." @GraphicMatt thestar.com/opinion/contri…
“Unfortunately, the budget does not address the needs of young people, seniors and families who cannot afford to buy a car and rely on public transit every day.”
“Unfortunately, the budget does not address the needs of young people, seniors and families who cannot afford to buy a car and rely on public transit every day.”
It’s a pretty big deal when this KEY MESSAGE is in Scientific American. It suggests a bigger tipping point. “We Need to Make Cities Less Car-Dependent: Reducing the need for car travel is better for health, the environment and public safety.” Via @sciam scientificamerican.com/article/we-nee…
FEDERAL BUDGET REACTION: Transit users, workers, and experts sound alarm about missing funding for new TTC subway trains and service ttcriders.ca/federalbudget2… #TTC #TOPOLI @atu_canada @UniforTheUnion @leadingmobility
“We finally have a labor champion on the 5th floor and labor allies in workforce development in Chicago. We will not go back to wage theft. We’re going forward, by passing the Rideshare Living Wage and Safety Ordinance.” -Beto Casas, driver and organizer
Did you know that the City of Toronto is aiming for 75% of trips under 5 km to be taken on foot, transit or bike by 2030? It’s an ambitious target, and if we maintain the status quo, it will not be met. 1/
Vote for a certification of a hamilton gig work delivery local is closed. workers have been bombarded by messages from Uber & Skip the Dishes to vote no on a union. Organizers have no access to do the same since they don't have contact info for all workers. Does that sound fair?
.@UberCanada took out billboards & digital ads to say this. Now #Uber delivery workers have filed to join @GigWorkersUnite & @cupw. Let's see if it's true! No legal delays/obstructions/interference & full respect for deliverers' right to associate & bargain, right? #CanLAB

What a joke. This is one of the reasons why I haven't driven in 2 weeks. My FT job gives me the option to say "no" to these companies.
Councillor Nunziata notes she’ll be withdrawing a motion she had planned about reductions to UP Express service. She says she spoke to Doug Ford and “within an hour” it was confirmed that service wouldn’t be changing. “Can you ask him to open the Eglinton LRT?” Matlow jokes.
Reminder! Walk Toronto is co-sponsoring the symposium "Oversized Danger: Report on the lethal danger of pickups and large SUVs" this Thursday at the University of Toronto, 12-3. Registration is free. eventbrite.ca/e/oversized-da…
Well done, transit peeps!
"Riders deserve affordable services. Uber & Lyft can provide that. They're choosing not to. They're also able to provide a $15 minimum wage to drivers. It's a choice that they don't want to do that." Don't let billion dollar corporations pit our communities against one another.
Concerned about Canada's productivity growth? A good place to start would be to fix a growing business model that pays people nothing, to do nothing. My take for @TorontoStar @StarBusiness: thestar.com/business/opini… #cdnecon
The “engaged time” payment structure in the gig economy is unfair, inefficient, and — I believe — contrary to the obligations of gig platforms under existing employment standards. It needs to stop. Great piece by @JimboStanford! thestar.com/business/opini…
6 pm today- a convo between @sergioaved and @doctorow on ridehailing will be a happy hour well-spent!

@SheighFreeberg and now you know they're doing it because I shared it : )
@maxnesterak That description is accurate for every union in every industry. It's the fact that the employer was known to be behind the poll is what makes it deeply suspect.
@derzquist I think that's an interesting point, and it feels like a push-poll. What's different is drivers are not represented by a union. There are a number of driver groups with different opinions, and the vast majority of drivers are unaffiliated with any group.
We know this is kind of a bullshit question because according to the state study, drivers in the Twin Cities metro earn $35 an hour for this time.

Cutting UP Service was not a good idea from Metrolinx, but willing to reverse a bad idea is good!
While the intention was to provide a faster option for people travelling between Union and Pearson, I’ve heard riders’ concerns about servicing Weston and Bloor stations along the UP Express line. I’ve directed Metrolinx to not proceed with these changes.

“I wake up in the morning wondering if I can afford to do this job. Every single driver I speak to has the same problem—the pay is unpredictable and it’s too low. If Chicago values this service, it needs to value the people who provide it: the drivers.” Shim Saphire-Bernstein
“Unfortunately, the budget does not address the needs of young people, seniors and families who cannot afford to buy a car and rely on public transit every day.”
The Federal government missed an opportunity to support Canadian communities and improve affordability in budget 2024. Calls by transit agencies for accelerated funding for transit infrastructure and enhanced safety measures went unanswered. Read more: cutaactu.ca/federal-govern…
