About Us
As bike share workers, we love our jobs and love doing our part in creating greener and more sustainable cities, but that doesn’t mean that improvements aren’t needed at work. We’re coming together to address things like wages, health benefits, health and safety, workwear stipends and job security. By forming a Union with SEIU Local 2, we can secure numerous improvements and have a strong collective voice at the workplace.
