Ron Burgundy Posted May 10, 2016 Share Posted May 10, 2016 By Gina Cherelus NEW YORK (Reuters) - Uber [uBER.UL] will join with the International Association of Machinists to launch an independent guild to represent drivers of the ride-hailing service in New York City, company officials said on Tuesday. Under a five-year agreement, the Independent Drivers' Guild, which will be a branch of the Machinists Union, will aim to protect the current 35,000 drivers and any future drivers who work for Uber in the city, the guild said in a statement. "Forming this Guild is crucial for thousands of drivers who need a stronger voice and gives organized labor an opportunity to shape the new economy in a way that supports and values workers and their families," said James Conigliaro Jr., founder of the Independent Drivers Guild.
