An Act establishing collective bargaining rights for TNC drivers

This bill establishes collective bargaining rights for drivers working in Massachusetts' transportation network industry, such as rideshare and ride-hailing services. It allows these drivers to form organizations and negotiate industry-wide recommendations with companies regarding work standards, pay, and benefits. The legislation creates a new chapter in state law that exempts these negotiations from federal and state antitrust laws and sets up a process where the Secretary of Labor reviews and can make these negotiated terms binding. Additionally, the bill permits rideshare companies to form multi-company associations to represent them during these negotiations.
