After years of getting squeezed by Uber and Lyft, a national rideshare cooperative is offering drivers equity stakes that Silicon Valley refuses to grant.

Fucking stellar news, they are smol and broke for now, but sweeping gig economy via an app is promising avenue (somewhat, either force them to bleed more money if it fails or fuck them if it doesn't - which requires solidarity and boycotts of uber, which treat hounds likely won't do). Still pog to try

    followup: it's called Driver's Cooperative and the jacoffbin article fails to link to their website

      honestly i think "drivers dot coop" is a better name than "driver's cooperative"
