Great article on the Bureau of Labor & Industries and their progress on catching up on wage complaints. We need our enforcers to be resourced enough to enforce!

BOLI is ending its $25.34 threshold for wage complaints. The agency earlier stopped investigating wage claims except for low-wage workers — because it was far behind trying to investigate all wage claims. nwlaborpress.org/2025/10/boli...

The Oregon Legislature has lost another tremendous advocate, in Rep. Hóa Nguyên, D-48 (SE Portland, Damascus, and Boring) She died of cancer, surrounded by family. On behalf of our driver community, our condolences & hearts are with you and yours. Thanks for fighting with us. Ciao chi.

Lyft deactivated another driver after 8 yrs with no clear explanation. Now his family searches for answers. WE DESERVE DEACTIVATION PROTECTIONS, and we need a Driver Resource Center where drivers can get support. Mayor Wilson & Council, please help!

Passenger: $43, driver: $10(23%). WHY?! Below min. wage for drivers who bear the most cost & risk w/ no protections. TNCs say drivers are paid well & if pay goes up rides will be unaffordable. FALSE!
Drivers deserve FAIR PAY, passengers fairness & transparency!

Great day for solidarity w/ our farmworker siblings who've also been excluded from labour rights & discriminated against on the job. We'll never stop fighting until these injustices are rectified. Shoutout to all the folks in red! When we fight, WE win

Portland's raising the rideshare fee to $2. PLEASE HELP US ask Council & Mayor W to dedicate a small portion to support our essential, but vulnerable workers who are being exploited by Uber & Lyft's algorithms!

Support for unions is at an all-time high. And according to the most recent in a series of annual surveys, Americans favor unions over big business by a record margin. | NW Labor Press

Sad news: SB 1166, Oregon's rideshare driver rights bill won’t pass. 'Twas an uphill battle, made harder by the budget crisis. We moved lawmakers w/ our stories & in our 1st try nearly made it to the end, thanks to you & we're getting STRONGER!
Thanks for being part of the movement! Happy Juneteenth

Portland is increasing the fee charged on Uber & Lyft trips from .65 to $2 to address their needs. But what about DRIVERS? We are asking a just 20 cents to support drivers. Please tell Council & Mayor Wilson #NoTNCTaxationWithoutDriverRepresentation!

Drivers for rideshare companies like Uber and Lyft deserve fair pay, transparency, and protection from unfair deactivations. @driversunionor.bsky.social is right that we need SB 1166. #ORleg #ORpol

“We work hard to make money for the company. I put insurance, I put tires and I work 60 hours a week sometimes. But we are slaves for this company.”

It's time for Oregon to establish protections for rideshare drivers #ORpol #ORleg
Oregon bill would require Uber, Lyft to provide drivers minimum compensation rates, paid sick leave
“Uber and Lyft drivers don’t get enough. They don’t get paid living wages," Senate Majority Leader Kayse Jama said.

Drivers in Oregon met up at the Capitol in Salem today to fight for driver rights and support Senate Bill 1166! Thanks to tons of friends, family & allies we had a huge rally and a great hearing on the bill!

Rejoice in Paradise, Senator Woods.

One of his final times in the legislature was last month when we appeared before his committee for our Informational Meeting for our rideshare bill. He told Uber & Lyft to pay their drivers more equitably.

Thanks for your support. Now go and rest, Woodsy.
