The Boston Independent Drivers Guild (BIDG), which is advocating for collective bargaining rights and unionization for Uber and Lyft drivers, said backing Sanders’ campaign is “the best way forward for rideshare drivers and all working class people.”

“Only a mass movement that unites working-class and poor people, young people and students, labor unions, social justice organizers and activists, and marginalized and oppressed people from across this country and around the world is capable of taking on the rule of the billionaire class,” BIDG representative Felipe Martinez said.

“Only one candidate for President of the United States is using their campaign to build a movement of these communities, and only one candidate for President of the United States has a decades-long record of fighting effectively and unequivocally for these communities."

Sanders has racked up several endorsements from labor groups, including the United Teachers Los Angeles (UTLA), National Nurses United (NNU), United Electrical, Radio & Machine Workers of America (UE) and National Union of Healthcare Workers (NUHW). He has also appeared alongside striking workers across the country while on the campaign trial, often to demand higher pay for workers.

...good Union man, I couldn't agree more...

" The Boston Independent Drivers Guild (BIDG), which is advocating for collective bargaining rights and unionization for Uber and Lyft drivers, said backing Sanders’ campaign is “the best way forward for rideshare drivers and all working class people.” "

...a President Sanders would be the greatest gift and boost to organized labor and working people everywhere, the likes of which hasn't been seen in over 70 years...

...and that's the truth...
