The Gig Economy and the Impact on Immigrant Workers in the US
===============

Recent immigrants in the US are turning to gig driving for Uber and Lyft due to limited job options, facing challenges like language barriers and limited experience. Some drivers are determined to make it work despite long hours and low pay. In Minneapolis, mostly Black and immigrant drivers fought for a minimum pay rate after threats from rideshare companies. Uber and Lyft argue higher pay would result in unaffordable fares, but data suggests fares increased more without pay protections. Gig corporations are seeking to classify drivers as independent contractors, denying them basic employment rights. Policymakers should take stronger action to ensure compliance with employment laws. #GigEconomy #ImmigrantWorkers #FairWages...
