Say No to Waymo Labour Webinar

​Join us for a webinar on Wednesday August 26th to learn more about the jobs Waymo's driverless taxis seek to automate and the work they need to stay afloat.

Driverless Taxis are coming to Ontario. Waymo, an Alphabet-owned driverless taxi service based in the U.S. is lobbying Ontario and Toronto to deploy in our streets.

Come hear from Earla Phillips, a rideshare driver and advocate and Camila Justino, a data annotator, on how they perceive automation. Then join us for a discussion and a Q&A session from the moderator and the audience.

​If you oppose Waymo coming to Ontario, sign our petition: https://techfordemocracy.ca/2026/04/29/say-no-to-waymo/
