State Innovations: Illinois Rideshare Drivers' Victory

SiX and the Center for State Labor Innovation hosted a legislator briefing on recent progress in Illinois led by unions, allowing gig workers to join together for better wages, working conditions, and more. Our panelists, including prime sponsor of Illinois' Rideshare law State Senator Ram Villivalam, Brian Shanahan of the Machinists Union, Co-Founder of the Center for State Labor Innovation Andrew Greenblatt, and NYU Law School Professor Cindy Estlund, overviewed the context around Illinois' latest win as well as how the model of tripartite sectoral co-regulation works as a strategy to help all kinds of workers organize for their rights.
