Uber and Lyft to Continue Operating in Minnesota Despite Wage Increase Dispute =============== #a82552b6 ver:0.13 Despite wage increase disputes, Uber and Lyft will continue operating in Minnesota. Many immigrants turn to gig driving due to limited job options, facing challenges like language barriers and low pay. In Minneapolis, mostly Black and immigrant drivers fought for a minimum pay rate, which was passed despite threats from the rideshare companies. Uber and Lyft argue higher pay would lead to unaffordable fares, but data suggests fares increased without pay protections. Gig companies are seeking to classify drivers as independent contractors, denying them basic employment rights. Uber and Lyft will stay in Minnesota despite the legal battle over wage increase. Other states are expected to follow suit in improving wages for food delivery workers. #Uber #Lyft #gigwork #wageincrease #employmentrights... #newstr #Uber #Lyft #Minnesota #WageIncrease #DeliveryDrivers https://here.news/story/a82552b6?ver=0.13
