super interested in how they pulled this off. Uber drivers sound like they’d be very difficult to organize for a variety of reasons
It is certainly in no small part due to our unionisation laws in BC. We have “card check” rules to certify union drives:
In June 2022, the NDP government in B.C. passed Bill 10, reinstating card-check union certification. Under B.C.’s card-check model, unions can certify bargaining units after 55 per cent of workers have signed membership cards. Prior to this amendment to the province’s Labour Relations Code, certifying a new bargaining unit required unions to submit signed cards from a minimum of 45 per cent of potential members and then win a majority in a labour board-supervised election.
Research demonstrates that “two-step” unionization allows employers to more easily frustrate union organizing campaigns.
