App Companies: Give NYC Drivers the Raise We Deserve!
Uber, Lyft, New York City Taxi and Limousine Commission
Join Justice for App Workers in calling on Uber and Lyft to give us the raise we fought for and earned!
Last November, we won a raise for Uber and Lyft drivers in New York, but Uber decided to block the increase based on a legal technicality. The judge who made the decision even said that drivers “deserved the boost”!
Thousands of NYC drivers protested Uber’s lawsuit, and we won a partial raise. This is a great first step, but we want the full increase that we deserve. We also want to ensure that our raise includes a utilization rate that will avoid lockouts so we can get our wage increase AND keep drivers on the road!
Rideshare drivers sometimes work 80 hours a week for app companies, and the full raise would allow us to do our jobs without constantly worrying about paying the bills. That’s why we’re calling on Uber and Lyft to pay us our FULL raise now and not leave drivers hanging because of a technical delay!
Please stand with the tens of thousands of New York City rideshare drivers who work incredibly hard and deserve better pay. Sign our petition and support our fight for fair treatment from app companies!

Thousands of NYC drivers came together to protest Uber’s lawsuit, and we won a partial raise. This is a great first step, but we want you to give us the full increase that we deserve, without lockouts, so that we get our raise AND keep drivers on the road.
Rideshare drivers sometimes work 80+ hours a week, and the full raise would allow us to do our jobs without constantly worrying about paying the bills. That’s why we’re calling on you to pay us our FULL raise now and not leave drivers hanging because of a technical delay!
We demand:
App companies give us our original wage increase of 7.42% for per-minute rates and 23.93% for per-mile rates.
App companies ensure that the raise includes a utilization rate that will avoid lockouts.
You have tens of thousands of rideshare drivers in New York City who work incredibly hard and deserve better pay and better treatment. All we’re asking for is a raise that’ll help us put food on the table for our families in one of the most expensive cities in the world. Pay us the wages we’ve earned!
Sincerely,
Members and Supporters of Justice for App Workers
