The Uber drivers' union has expanded its reach into the B.C. Interior, specifically targeting the cities of Kamloops and Kelowna. More than 1,000 drivers from these areas are now included under the first collective agreement established for app-based ride-hailing workers in Canada. This agreement marks a historic milestone for the rights and protections of gig economy workers operating through platforms like Uber. The collective agreement aims to enhance working conditions and provide drivers with the benefits associated with formal union representation. The move is part of a larger trend in Canada, where unions seek to organize workers in the gig economy, advocating for fair treatment and improved working conditions.
