Bill Summary
Relative to establishing collective bargaining rights for transportation network company drivers. Labor and Workforce Development.
AI Summary
This bill establishes collective bargaining rights for transportation network company (TNC) drivers in Massachusetts. It creates an "industry council" composed of TNCs and an "exclusive driver representative" chosen by the drivers. The industry council must negotiate and make recommendations to the executive office on various topics, such as occupational accident coverage, anti-discrimination rights, and minimum wage regulations. If the industry council fails to reach an agreement, the parties can enter into binding arbitration. The executive office has ongoing supervisory authority to ensure the recommendations promote public policy goals. The bill also outlines a process for drivers to decertify the exclusive driver representative and allows the executive office to enforce the law and impose penalties for violations.
