The first city in Canada to legislate ride-sharing is now the first in the country with unionized drivers.

Edmonton-based private transportation provider TappCar announced Wednesday that its drivers now have a collective agreement with Teamsters Local 987.

“The main benefit is actually to the passengers,” said Pascal Ryffel, spokesman for TappCar. “We know that if morale is high among our drivers, ultimately it’s going to be our customers that are going to be benefiting more than anything else.”

That morale, he said, will come from drivers having, in writing, some of the benefits the company has already said they would provide, such as health care and pensions. It also creates clear ways for drivers to follow for dispute resolution between employees or grievances with the company.

The move marks the first time a ride-sharing company has unionized in Canada. The city of Seattle, Wash., voted to allow collective bargaining for ride-sharers in December 2015 and Australia’s ride-sharers formed a union of their own earlier this year.
