(a)The certified driver bargaining organization shall have the right to represent all TNC drivers in the bargaining unit with respect to matters within the TNC driver organization’s role as representative for purposes of this chapter. No other TNC driver organization shall be entitled to engage in bargaining with the covered TNCs concerning matters within the scope of representation.

(b)The certified driver bargaining organization shall represent each TNC driver in the represented unit fairly with respect to matters within the scope of representation of the bargaining unit for purposes of this chapter, without discrimination and without regard to whether the TNC driver is a member of the TNC driver organization.

(c)The certified driver bargaining organization shall be entitled to receive from the board, on a quarterly basis, within three weeks after the end of each calendar quarter, the lists of TNC drivers provided by the covered TNC to the board pursuant to Section 7470.6. The covered TNCs and the certified driver bargaining organization may, by mutual agreement, change the specification of the data that must be included on the list. The specification of the data that will be included on the list shall be within the scope of bargaining. The certified driver bargaining organization may use the information in the list only for the sole purpose of representing TNC drivers as authorized by this chapter and may not provide the information to any third party unless that party is acting as the organization’s agent for purposes authorized by this chapter or administering benefits to drivers pursuant to a bargaining agreement. No other TNC driver organization shall be entitled to receive such a list from the board. Before receiving the list, the certified driver bargaining organization shall certify to the satisfaction of the board that the organization has implemented sufficient data security protection procedures in compliance with applicable data privacy laws, strictly limiting the use of data to what is permitted under this chapter, and establishing clear protocols for data breach notifications. A covered TNC shall not be liable for any damages caused by the certified driver bargaining organization’s or the board’s failure to safeguard the list described in this section from a data or security breach.
