    Drivers choose independence

    The independence of rideshare and delivery driving is what draws most people to this work. Drivers don’t have to answer to a boss and can work when and where they want, while enjoying new pay guarantees and other benefits. This ballot question keeps drivers independent, which is what most drivers prefer.

    Driver safety net

    The pandemic has shown us the importance of a strong safety net for workers. This ballot question would provide historic new benefits suited specifically for app-based drivers, including a healthcare stipend, paid sick time, paid family and medical leave, and occupational accident insurance that covers injury or illness on the job.

    Drivers agree

    A recent survey found that 83 percent of app-based drivers in Massachusetts support being independent contractors while receiving new benefits, as proposed by the ballot question, but politicians are ignoring them by trying to force them into becoming employees to score political points with special interests. This ballot question respects the will of the drivers by preserving the independence and flexibility that they enjoy as independent contractors.

    Tested solution

    Last year, voters in California passed a similar law requiring companies to provide benefits for drivers while keeping them independent contractors. One year later, surveys show that nearly 9 in 10 California drivers say this has been good for them, 75% report making more money and 84% of them recommend that voters in other states pass similar laws.
