NTWA is the first non-traditional workforce made up of independent contractors who don't work for an hourly wage to be granted membership into the AFL–CIO, the oldest labor federation in the country.[1] The Executive Council of the AFL–CIO voted unanimously "to include the NTWA into the house of labor with a national unionize taxi drivers throughout the United States".The National Taxi Workers' Alliance emerged from the organizing efforts of the founding member, Bhairavi Desai.More than 90 percent of NYC's cab drivers are immigrants, belonging mostly to the South Asian diaspora from countries such as Bangladesh, Pakistan, and India.Taxi cab drivers are not covered under the Fair Labor Standards Act which protects workers' safety and grants overtime pay.
