NYTWA RAISE FOR ALL CAMPAIGN

Because of our organizing, all NYTWA members had won a raise that was scheduled to go into effect on December 19th, 2022. The yellow and green meter increased for the first time in ten years. For app drivers, the per minute was going to go up by 7.3% based on how much household expenses went up. Per mile was going up by 24% based on how much operating expenses went up. This was a critical raise and one that our union proposed, fought for and won.

But Uber sued to stop it, and a misguided court granted them a temporary restraining order that stopped the raise from going into effect for app drivers.

We can save our raise and we will. Uber is charging riders more today than it did in 2019 — for example, customers pay, on average, 48% more on UberX trips compared to 2019. But Uber couldn't stand to see drivers get a raise after record high inflation. We won’t let them win, and we won’t stop fighting until all drivers see the raise they deserve.

We fought in the courts, where our union’s lawyers filed an amicus brief so drivers’ voices would be heard by the judge. Read the amicus brief our lawyers filed here.

And we are fighting in the streets — join us for our next action on Sunday, February 26th: a strike at LaGuardia from 12 pm to 12 am — no Uber and Lyft pick ups!

This fight is long from over - don’t let Uber steal our raise!
