Very soon cities and states will set the pay for all employees of every business, in democrat jurisdictions.
I would make it $40/hour, and then everyone could be above average.
Turning the flag down shouldn’t result in $30/hr for sitting around at slow times.
Gee, if only Democrat cities didn’t have so many rules and regulations, people might be able to afford to live there.
Does this just cover El Monte? I’m sure many Uber drivers in El Monte take customers to destinations outside if the city limits of that one small city in the LA area.
The first politician to propose $1,000 hr across the board - wins
They didn’t vote to give them 30.00 an hour. They voted to start drafting a law. If they don’t draft a law then the pay doesn’t go up. Uber and Lyft have plenty of time to pay off any officials to make sure it doesn’t happen. And if it ever does it will hurt more than it helps. Uber would not be able to pay and the service would go away. The Uber drivers would go back to whatever they were or were not doing before.
Wow - I see they’re getting right on that out of control homeless situation in that cess pool by making more people homeless because nobody but the rich will be able to afford using Uber
Attention Freepers,
DO NOT Go to El Monte without a Vest, and Never at night. It is a very violent shithole full of MS13, I lived in San Gabriel for many years
WTF? I thought Uber and Lyft was a way to make extra money.
Ironic that Uber and Lyft are in San Francisco too.
That’s one way to kill it while maintaining the false appearance of benevolence.
Hats off to the cabbie that thought of this.
Will be fun to see Uber and Lyft suspend service to this municipality.
Yeah, who else would kill those two businesses in their jurisdiction?
Pretty much had to be Los Angeles, San Francisco, or New York.
Insanity.
They should throw in free immunizations for typhus too.
What was that word I’m trying to remember?
Oh, yeah: SOCIALISM.
This must be an attempt to reduce carbon emissions. Ridership will drop like a rock. Actual take home wages will avalanche in time to nonexistence.
It took me almost 23 years to get to that rate.
They aren’t paying LA county employees that much.
I know one and know what she’s making. She told me.
Each of us should demand 30 bucks an hour from the politicians on Capitol Hill for the way they screw with us unmercifully day in and day out.
Both Uber and Lyft are hemorrhaging money so it just a question of time before they both go under in the not too distant future like months.
Maybe they should write a boll guaranteeing unemployed uber/lyft drivers a minimum wage - sort of like unemployment checks ...
