SIGN NOW: Demand that Uber and Lyft pay their fair share.

All Members of Congress

Ride-share companies such as Uber and Lyft aren’t paying their fair share. Because they treat their drivers as contractors instead of employees, the drivers are on the hook to pay both sides of the Social Security and Medicare payroll tax.

Now, Rep. Haaland has announced that she’ll be introducing legislation to require ride-share companies and other multinational corporations to pay their fair share of their workers’ payroll taxes.

Uber’s CEO makes more than $45 million per year, and half of their drivers don’t make minimum wage--even as they are responsible for their own gas, insurance, and car maintenance. Uber and Lyft’s drivers are the foundation of their business--and both companies have a history of dodging the law to misclassify their drivers.

Join Social Security Works in supporting Rep. Deb Haaland’s legislation that will make Uber, Lyft and other multinational corporations pay their fair share into Social Security and Medicare instead of passing the buck to their workers.

Large multinational corporations such as Uber and Lyft are dodging their contributions to Social Security and Medicare, making their drivers pay both the employee and employer sides of the payroll tax. We call on Congress to pass Rep. Deb Haaland’s forthcoming legislation that requires Uber and Lyft to pay their fair share.
