David Crane keeps a yellow legal notepad in his car, pages upon pages filled out with his thoughts on the concerns of thousands of other rideshare drivers like him, with demands that boil down to better wages, safer working conditions and union rights.

“We deserve what’s right. We deserve better pay for the amount of time that we spend away from home. We deserve to have livable wages, and we’re not receiving them,” Crane said.
