NTWA is the first non-traditional workforce made up of independent contractors who don’t even work for an hourly wage to be granted membership into the AFL-CIO, the oldest labor federation in the country.[1] The Executive Council of the AFL-CIO voted unanimously “to include the NTWA into the house of labor with a national unionize taxi drivers throughout the United States”.[2] The union is made up of 200,000 taxi workers operating 100,000 vehicles serving 1 billion riders per year. NTWA is committed to a vision of labor organizing that is multi-ethnic, multi-generational that fights for labor justice. Through strategic national campaigns, capacity building, and comprehensive research on labor issues, NTWA strives to raise awareness and demand justice on critical issues such as protection on the job, reasonable wages and benefits, legal rights, and dignity for all unionized taxi cab drivers in their two local chapters.
