To Many More Years of Advocacy, Hard Work & Positivity
This year, we are thrilled to celebrate a significant milestone at United Taxi Workers of San Diego (UTWSD) as we mark 15 years of dedicated advocacy for taxi drivers and workers in our community. It’s hard to believe how far we’ve come together, and we feel proud to be part of an organization that has been at the forefront of ensuring fair treatment, better working conditions, and the rights of taxi workers throughout San Diego.
Reflecting on 15 Years of Impact
When UTWSD was founded in 2009, we came together in response to the many challenges faced by taxi drivers, including low wages, long hours, and a lack of support. Over the years, we have worked tirelessly to address these issues, providing resources and a collective voice for our fellow drivers. We can personally attest to the difference our advocacy has made in shaping local policies and regulations affecting our industry.
