Uber and Lyft to stay in Minneapolis after state lowers driver pay requirements
Uber and Lyft aren’t leaving the city after all.
Uber and Lyft will continue operating in Minneapolis after the state legislature approved a lower minimum pay rate for drivers over the weekend, according to reports from the Minnesota Reformer and StarTribune. The ridehailing companies argued that the ordinance was “deeply flawed,” as city officials determined the rate before the state released a study on how much drivers should be paid to earn Minneapolis’ minimum wage. In addition to establishing a minimum rate across the state, the bill will let Uber and Lyft drivers appeal account deactivations while also mandating vehicle insurance and compensation for injuries while on the job.
