NO DRIVERS, NO TENNESSEE: an organization fighting for Driver Dignity in the South
Tennessee
Joined August 2024
The TN Drivers Union will not allow Elon Musk to take over our city. First he came for Memphis, and now he's coming for us. But we won't stand for corporations & billionaires making decisions without input from us, drivers who actually take people from the airport downtown

An injury to one is an injury to all. We cannot let our class enemies disrespect our union leaders. What class do you represent?

The interests of monopoly capitalists like Jeff Bezos are driving this genocide just like they are driving the exploitation and precarious conditions of U.S. workers.

This violent overreaction was a sign of weakness. Monopoly capitalists fear a united international working class! We call on other unions and labor leaders to stand with our union brother Chris Smalls and with the Palestinian people.

As a real union leader, he is representing the opinion of the majority of working-class people. Most working-class people in the United States do not want our hard work to pay for the atrocities that are being committed against Palestinians in the name of capital.

As a passenger of the Freedom Flotilla, Chris was representing organized labor. Chris did what few labor leaders have dared to do: put his body on the line to stand against a genocide driven by monopoly capital, the enemy of workers worldwide.

Chris Smalls—a Black labor leader, founder of the Amazon Labor Union—was choked and kicked by 7 Zionist officers for taking a stand against the genocide of Palestinians. This white supremacist act was an attack against the working class.

"We have almost 50,000 rideshare drivers in and around Nashville. Sometimes we spend more time in traffic on our way to find passengers than we do with passengers. And that time is all unpaid."
READ: New op-ed in @labornotes from one of our driver leaders, explaining the hypocrisy of the @Fly_Nashville continuing ban of 34 drivers, how it’s impacting drivers like her, and why she’s still not afraid to keep organizing for better conditions https://t.co/XJGVpVSuwF

The @tn_tribune republished the @Fly_Nashville demonstrably false press statement about the 34 members of our Union who were retaliated against. Is this what journalism looks like nowadays? We will share more on the evidence we are gathering about BNA’s lies about drivers soon
