“A ballot measure passed in Massachusetts last November gives [sic] rideshare drivers the right to unionize. At first glance, this sounds good. After all, ‘supporting workers’ is a message that resonates with many of us, but the reality is worrisome for rideshare drivers who value flexibility and independence. … I saw firsthand at Trader Joe’s what happens when a union inserts itself where it isn’t wanted. If Massachusetts wants to help rideshare drivers, it should protect their flexibility, not undermine it by forcing independent rideshare drivers into a union they never voted for.” [editor’s note: All workers always have a right to join a union. Whether they can get other workers to also join it, or get an employer to bargain exclusively with it, isn’t a matter of the unionized workers’ rights, it’s a matter of everyone else’s – TLK] (10/26/25)
