You know, I welcome any technology, same as Uber, when they come to business.

But I knew where they're heading to.

You see, when Uber came, their aim was to kill taxi business.

Now Waymo is to kill the drivers.

I'm a proud member of ADU, App Drivers Union, and I'm here to ask you to protect our local jobs.

Rideshare drivers just want the right to unionize and to fight for better wages and conditions.

Robot cars threaten all of this progress.

We're a union city here in the city of Boston.

We see the writing on the wall.

We know that driverless car and truck companies are salivating at the idea that they could eliminate Teamster jobs.

Just a few months ago, I was knocking doors with drivers across the city to give them the right to organize.

I think we can go where the ride can't go.

I knew, I knew, I knew.

Thank you for the question, Councilor Mejia.

It rhymes with hero.
