Lyft and Uber say they will leave Minneapolis if the mayor signs a minimum wage bill for drivers::Lyft and Uber threatened to stop doing business in Minneapolis after the city council adopted a new rule Thursday that would set a minimum wage for rideshare drivers.
Good.
Bye bye Lyft. Bye bye Uber.
Oh no! Businesses whose ‘innovation’ is doing end runs around labour law, leaving? How sad.
The “labor laws” you reference only exist to give taxi companies monopolies and provide worse experiences for everyone involved
Still better than the ‘gig economy’. If making worker’s lives more precarious makes your life better, fuck your life.
The gig economy is less precarious for the people that choose it because it fits their schedule. That’s why they choose it. Jobs aren’t exactly hard to get right now - they’d do something else if they wanted to.
Also uber drivers don’t make less money than taxi drivers. On average, they make about the same.

That just compares salary, what about benefits?
Uber was notorious for moving into and operating in certain cities illegally.
*all cities
But minimum wage = good!!! What happed!!! Hahaha idiots
Oh no, there will be small local taxi companies instead of some random multi-million dollar corporations, how bad! And people won’t have to download their trashy apps that are filled with trackers.
