Minneapolis' mayor has vetoed a minimum wage for Uber, Lyft and other ride-hailing drivers in the city.
Under the ordinance Frey vetoed, all ride-hailing companies would be required to pay drivers at least $1.40 per mile and $0.51 per minute, or $5, whichever is greater. The rule would only apply for the portion of the ride within the city.“It’s clear we need more time to get this right,” Frey said in a Tuesday statement.
“This veto is an inexcusable betrayal of Minneapolis workers,” Wonsley said in a statement. “The ordinance was developed over eight months of consultation with drivers, city staff, and national experts.” Frey previously asked the City Council to wait until the end of the upcoming Minnesota legislative session to act on a Minneapolis ordinance in hopes lawmakers instead will pass a statewide plan for ride-hailing drivers.
“He has a responsibility to his constituents who are part of those folks who are suffering,” Ali said.that would have mandated higher pay and job security for Lyft and Uber drivers in the state. Walz said at the time that ride-hailing drivers deserve fair wages and safe working conditions, but it wasn’t the right bill to achieve those goals.
