As Uber and Lyft drivers gear up for an unprecedented union drive in California, another group of gig workers in New York City, also fed up with low wages and a dearth of benefits, is taking steps to form a union.

On Monday, yoga instructors at one of the country’s largest yoga chains, YogaWorks, asked the private equity firm that owns them to recognize their union, The New York Times reported. These yoga instructors would be the first in the $16 billion industry to unionize.
