Lyft and Uber have said they will halt operations in Minneapolis because of a new city ordinance that increases wages for app-based drivers.
FILE - In this Feb. 9, 2021 file photo, a passer-by walks past a sign offering directions to an Uber and Lyft ride pickup location at Logan International Airport, in Boston. Lyft and Uber are threatening to halt operations in Minneapolis because of a city ordinance to increase wages for app-based drivers, the latest back-and-forth that underscores a longtime fight between gig economy workers and the tech giants.
Lyft called the ordinance “deeply flawed,” saying in a statement that it supports a minimum earning standard for drivers but not the one passed by the council.Josh Gold, Uber’s senior director of public affairs, said in a statement that the result will be thousands of people out of work and many riders stranded.
It will be less convenient for him if Lyft and Uber leave, Hay said. He doesn't buy into the companies' claims that they can’t raise wages and still make a profit. Uber had threatened to offer only premium-priced service in the Minneapolis-St. Paul area and cut off service altogether in the rest of Minnesota if Walz signed the legislation.
