Congratulations to @DriversIllinois! Can’t wait to keep building our nationwide union movement with you.
HISTORY MADE! The Rideshare Drivers’ Union Bill passed both chambers and will now head to the Governor’s desk to be signed into law. 100,000 drivers can now form a union and collectively bargain for higher wages, safety protections and more!

With tech companies racing to deploy autonomous vehicles, common-sense laws are more urgent than ever. #SB1246 moving forward is a big step to ensure that autonomous vehicles are rolled out safely, responsibly, and with our communities put first.

As gas prices surge, gig drivers are the ones bearing the brunt of the pain. CGWU drivers spoke to the LA Times about the realities of driving while gas skyrockets. @GigUnionNorCal latimes.com/business/story/2…

Monthly safety reports. Fines for violations. Faster response times. #SB1246 authored by @sendavecortese brings transparency to autonomous vehicles on CA streets. Gig drivers are driving progress and speaking out to make sure that streets are safe for all. #CaLeg #AVSafety

First responders shouldn’t have to deal with broken robotaxis. #SB1246 gives them the tools and puts responsibility back on AV corporations to take care of immobilized vehicles.

Autonomous vehicles are here. Safety rules should be too.
California drivers and workers rallied today in five cities for #SB1246 — demanding accountability when robotaxis fail.

We follow the rules, so should robotaxis! Today, we asked the CPUC to investigate reports that robotaxis are allowing unaccompanied minors to use their vehicles - violating their permit and putting kids at risk.

Drivers are an essential part of the ecosystem that makes LAX one of the biggest airports in the world. We deserve fair treatment! cagigunion.org/news/2026/03/…

How do we fight back against unregulated AI and Big Tech greed? A union! @BernieSanders & his wife, Jane, recently sat down with CGWU drivers to discuss how we fight for dignity in an AI world.

Waymo stalls, safety falls! Drivers and community members are at the San Francisco Board of Supervisors for a hearing on the Waymo shutdown during December’s storms. We deserve answers and accountability.

The December Waymo shutdown was a wake up call! Big AI companies are using our streets as testing grounds - putting safety at risk and threatening the livelihoods of hundreds of thousands of drivers, all without any input from workers, elected leaders or our communities.

🏛️ Real oversight
🔍 Public transparency
