Do drivers for companies like Uber, Lyft and Eastside for Hire need a union? Some drivers say they want more guarantees of a livable wage, but other drivers argue the city's new law will take away their flexibility while forcing them to pay union dues. Uber has filed a lawsuit challenging the ordinance. Should ridesharing and cab companies be forced to turn over their driver rosters to the Teamsters? The future of rideshares and cabs in Seattle is revving up into a major legal battle.
