Cab Drivers United/AFSCME Council 31 is on the move and winning real improvements!

As a result of our work, the City has agreed to the following reforms:

Here are the proposed changes:

• Reduce the cap on credit card fees to 3%.
• Lower the leases to tier 3 level on cabs after the 1st model year – saving between 10 and 20% for lease drivers.
• Reduction of the maximum fine by 60% from $1,000 to $400.
• Sharing of advertising revenue in the form of lease reduction for drivers.
• Authorize universal apps for better access to drivers and customers via a centralized dispatch system.
• Task Force to address lack of due process at 400 W. Superior and the meter rate for all rides originating from the city to the suburbs.
• Police to receive trainings on fair enforcement of taxi and rideshare violations.
• City will be using the Office of the Attorney General to provide assistance in lease violations enforcement

Some of these reforms are in the newly-introduced ordinance.To make these improvements real, we need to keep growing our union and building our power.
