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.
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
You mean exist to ensure the underpaid actually get the legal minimum wage and to stop exploitive rich people from exploiting poor people?
Uber drivers don’t make less money than taxi drivers. On average, they make about the same.

Uber & Lyft drivers assume all the financial risk and responsibility for their car payment, maintenance, insurance, cleaning, health and dental insurance, etc. You’ll find that once you factor in the externalities the tech companies push into their workers, they don’t necessarily make good money at all.
