SPRINGFIELD ─ State Senator Ram Villivalam joined hundreds of advocates Wednesday at the Capitol to show support for rideshare driver unionization in Illinois.
“Unions are the backbone of our workforce, ensuring laborers are supported and afforded strong workers’ rights, environments and benefits. Rideshare drivers are an important part of our transportation infrastructure – yet they currently lack the ability to negotiate for a proper working environment, rights or benefits,” said Villivalam (D-Chicago). “This is an once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to ensure Illinois continues to be a leader in labor rights and pave the way to support a growing part of our workforce, economy and transportation network.”

“This ruling is a mistake that rolls back decades of hard-fought progress. In some states, it will silence communities and open the door to discrimination in elections.
