Lyft and Uber said they will cease operations in Minneapolis after the city’s council voted Thursday to override a mayoral veto and require that ride-hailing services increase driver wages to the equivalent of the local minimum wage of $15.57 an hour.
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.
Oh good. Maybe a regional competitor can get a hold then. It’s not exactly a small market.
It’s also for this reason I don’t think Lyft and Uber would actually leave.
They will leave.
They have left countries all together because of this.
I hope they don’t let the door hit them on the way out… we don’t want ass prints on the door.
Well In that case someone call up the IWW. Let’s fire up some computers.
