Everything under arbitration are questions PLS HELPPP In 2016 Seattle, Washington became the first city in the United States to adopt a local law
specifically allowing drivers for taxicab associations, for-hire vehicle companies, and for
"transportation network companies” like Uber to select an “exclusive driver representative" to
negotiate on their behalf. The ordinance is similar to the NLRA in identifying subjects to be
negotiated and creating procedures for certifying the representative and for arbitration.

(a)
Research: Find Seattle's ordinance. What motivated the city to adopt it? (b) Does it make
sense to single out a particular industry for special treatment? Can you think of other kinds of
workers who might have similar needs to be protected? How is their case for a right to
bargain collectively stronger-or weaker--than that of the drivers? (C) Have there been court
challenges to this law?
