ride-share drivers in Massachusetts should be treated as independent contractors or allowed to unionize.

Drivers would also receive healthcare stipends, occupational accident insurance and paid sick time. , saying it went too far by including an unrelated proposal to limit the companies' liability for accidents by their drivers.
