UZURV drivers are not being paid to wait for passengers and the drivers are not free to leave the pick up location.

This Might Be a Wage Violation 🚨

Control of Time:

If you are not free to leave and your time is controlled by the employer, the law considers this time worked.

Waiting Time Rules:

Under federal rules, waiting time is compensable if you are required to wait on premises and cannot use that time for your own purposes.

Independent Contractor Status:

Your employer cannot misclassify a mandatory work delay as an independent contractor issue to avoid paying you.

Drivers never transport a minor unless it's a school contract or you have checked with the parents or guardians.

It's time to organize drivers in Maryland. We can help both passengers and drivers.

Championing grassroots progressive politics, civil liberties, human rights, economic justice, a healthy environment, and a reinvigorated democracy.

Laws like the one passed in Massachusetts, which enable transportation network operators, better known as rideshare drivers, and taxi drivers to unionize, are being passed across the country.

These laws don't just help drivers; they also help passengers by providing stable, consistent prices and copays for the transportation services they rely on. It's time for drivers and passengers in Maryland to join together and make transportation work better for both drivers and passengers in Maryland.

Fair fares and consistent copays that are respectful to both passengers and drivers create accessibility and can be provided to everyone. Every qualified professional driver should have access to participate in government-funded transportation services like the MTA Mobility Call-A-Ride Program without being exploited by for-profit entities that restrict access to available work, over charge drivers and passengers and cause service delays for passengers who need service.

Organized drivers and passengers can create a better, more affordable, accessible, and reliable transportation service for everyone in Maryland.

Waymo vehicles should only be allowed to operate in Baltimore City if they continue to use drivers behind the wheel.

This rule change will directly affect drivers and passengers in Maryland using the MTA Mobility Call-A-Ride Program and other services.

The abusive tactic of passengers who claim their pets are ADA-recognized service animals will be reduced. These passengers may be forced to choose between their housing subsidies and having an emotional support animal or pet.

Landlords, like drivers, have been frustrated with the abuse of these regulations that damage their property and cost their businesses money via additional maintenance and cleaning costs. We hope this rule helps w**d out the passengers who make it more difficult for people with ADA-recognized service animals.

Housing officials were told to exclude emotional support animals and tighten the definition of a service animal when granting accommodations for disabled tenants.

Someone has been waiting for a ride at a supermarket for over half an hour because UZURV's offer is too low. UZURV increased the offer by $0.06. This is why passengers are waiting so long for rides. It is really shameful what they are doing to passengers and drivers.

In another sign that UZURV's pay reduction to drivers and cutbacks in their call centers are making their service less reliable, passengers desperate to get to appointments are calling taxi companies that participate in the MTA Mobility Call-A-Ride Program and rideshare platforms after calling UZURV and not getting a driver, or being told by UZURV that they don't have a driver, which is code for no drivers being willing to take UZURV's lower pay to do the same job, because UZURV's pay cuts to drivers and higher gas prices make other platforms more attractive options for drivers on the UZURV platform, as UZURV does not pay for wait time and underpays drivers for time-consuming rides.
