Wow, he negotiated a contract with Uber only. Lyft drivers fucked. Drivers will probably flee to Uber for higher guarantees. Will Lyft compete to retain their talent or continue to pay the minimum? Or will they drop out of the city entirely and leave Uber as the de facto monopoly in drive sharing?
Mayor pretty much gave a middle finger to its people with the veto. I wonder how much the mayor was wined and dined to ignore 8 months of work by the city and consultants
LMFAO, it's a verbal contract bro, they aren't required to do anything. They won't do anything. This was just purely fucking over the people.
Verbals binding. Hope there's audio of that conversation.
And any gumption to hold them to their word. Both of them.
Sweet summer child...
No, they're right. Verbal contracts are binding in a court of law. Now, Uber having a fuckton of money to make it impossible to enforce is a different thing altogether.
Someone should show the mayor that you can't treat large portions of your constituents like they're trash.
But they can. gestures broadly to everything
Bad journalism that doesn't explain the current state of things for the drivers. Not everyone is up on the sanctioned exploitation of drivers.
What are they getting now and how does this improve things?
Don't worry! The reader can find that in a different article.
Sourcing this critical information is an exercise left to the reader
I used to ride share drive part time. I don't think there is anyone who does strictly Uber or strictly Lyft. You do both to get more money.
This is a most excellent place for technology news and articles.
