Workers' Rights Webinar: Uber and Lyft Workers
Uber and Lyft Workers, Know Your Rights!
In 2020, the Attorney General filed a lawsuit against Lyft and Uber to obtain wages, benefits, and other protections for drivers. The companies reached a settlement with the Massachusetts Attorney General's Office (AGO) that:
- provides at least $140 million in back pay to drivers who used the Uber and Lyft Driver apps to provide rides to passengers in Massachusetts between July 14, 2020, and July 2, 2024, and
- provides new benefits to all current drivers who use the Uber and Lyft Driver apps to provide trips to passengers.
In this webinar, the Massachusetts AGO will explain how to determine if you are eligible for back pay and the new benefits for drivers, such as minimum wage, paid sick leave, and health insurance.
