BILL OF RIGHTS

FOR PASSENGERS & DRIVERS IN THE UBER ECONOMY

In the face of a rapidly changing economy, we stand firm that our rights must be respected. While we appreciate innovation, new technologies should not be an excuse to strip us of our basic dignity or take away our fundamental right to act together to improve our lives.

I add my name to the Passenger & Driver Bill of Rights below:

We have the right to safe transportation.

  • Drivers have the right to safe working conditions, including high-quality job training and comprehensive insurance coverage.

We have the right to know that every worker in Seattle is paid $15 an hour. 

  • Passengers have the right to know their fares support a living wage for drivers, not a multi-billion-dollar loophole in our $15 law. 

  • Drivers should be guaranteed a living wage for the hours they work, not have work expenses push their pay below minimum standards.

We have the right to transparent and fair communication.

  • Passengers have the right to fair treatment from the companies that provide transportation, including transparent pricing and access.

We have the right to access transportation without discrimination. 

  • Passengers have equal rights to a ride, regardless of race, class, physical ability, or address. 

  • Drivers have the right to do their jobs and be evaluated for their work without discrimination.

We have the right to a voice in the rules.
