==Immigrant/ Taxi Workers Organizing==
In 1998, Biju Mathew was one of the cofounders of the New York Taxi Workers Alliance (NYTWA)
(along with Bhairavi Desai, Javaid Tariq, and several others) . NYTWA is currently one of the most successful new immigrant workers unions in the US with over 17,000 members in NYC. The union primarily organizes yellow medallion lease drivers and has fought several successful campaigns including fair hike-lease cap campaigns in 2004, 2006, and 2012. Its most notable success is the building of a health and wellness fund for NYC taxi drivers in 2013-2014. In 2012 the NYTWA and its sister organization, The (Taxi Workers Alliance of Pennsylvania ) (TWAPA) became the founding affiliates of the National Taxi Workers Alliance (NTWA) of the (AFL-CIO ). The NTWA is the 57th chartered union of the (AFL-CIO ) and the first new charter in over 50 years.〔https://nytwa.org/about/mission-history/〕 The creation of NTWA is a historic event and it is the first national union of independent contractor-workers.〔https://nytwa.org/about/mission-history/〕 Dr Mathew’s book ''Taxi! Cabs and Capitalism in NYC'' (New Press 2005; Cornell University Press 2008) documents much of this experience of organizing immigrant taxi workers.〔http://thenewpress.com/index.php?option=com_title&task=view_title&metaproductid=1552〕 He is currently a secretary for the national union (with Bhairavi Desai as president, Ronald Blount as VP, and Javaid Tariq as treasurer). In 2013, the Taxi Drivers Association of Austin (TDAA) became the third affiliate of the NTWA. NTWA continues to organize taxi drivers in several other cities in the US.〔https://nytwa.org/2013/07/22/taxi-drivers-association-of-austin-tdaa-win-kick-ass-award/〕
