BOSTON (AP) — Massachusetts voters approved giving union rights to drivers for ride-hailing companies like Uber and Lyft but rejected a measure to legalize some psychedelics. The issues were among five measures put to voters on Tuesday’s ballot. Voters also said no to increasing the minimum hourly wage for workers who collect tips. They approved dropping comprehensive tests as a requirement for getting a high school diploma and approved allowing the state auditor to audit the Legislature.
