The future of app-based drivers is in jeopardy in Massachusetts. A lawsuit filed by the Attorney General could strip rideshare drivers of their flexibility and independence, taking away what drivers value most. It’s why Flexibility and Benefits for Massachusetts Drivers launched a new ballot effort that would put a question before Massachusetts voters on November 5th, 2024. The proposal will ensure drivers can continue to drive when, how often, for however long, and with however many companies as they want. It will also create a guaranteed earnings floor of 120% of the state minimum wage (equal to $18 in 2024) not including tips, and provide drivers with healthcare stipends, occupational accident insurance, an appeals process for account deactivation, and paid sick time.
