New York City suggests a 5 percent increase for Rideshare drivers in an attempt to satisfy Uber and Lyft

The Taxi and Simozine Committee in New York City (TLC) has settled on new bases the minimum wage for Rideshare drivers, Bloomberg Reports. Drivers will get a 5 percent increase under the new proposal, a compromise to keep Uber and Lyft from bridging drivers from their applications.

The proposal must be voted by the TLC Council before it comes into effect, but on the assumption that it will end for months of uncertainty for drivers working in the city. Uber began intermittently Lock drivers from their application In May 2024, they prevented them from horseback and earning money. The company was preventing access to its application to avoid having to push drivers who were working, but they did not take horse riding actively. In addition to entering the minimum wage for drivers It started about $ 18 per hour In 2022, New York also included conditions in its law that requires drivers to stop the trips, which is normal with Uber and Lyft.

Bloomberg He writes TLC initially suggested an increase of 6.1 percent in an attempt to nullify Uber and Lyft from the drivers lock. The proposal will control how to calculate the driver’s salaries, in exchange for increasing the introduction and ensuring that drivers are warned before they lose access to the Rideshare application. The stability of an increase of five percent and the commitment not to raise wages annually and instead “changing the dynamics of industry”, is an additional surrender. One is still not enough for Lev, apparently. I told the company Bloomberg This, “While these changes are a step in the right direction, we still have fears that the basic wage formula will continue to deprive the motives of opportunities, increase prices for passengers and reduce the availability of passengers.”

Uber and Lyft have always had a controversial relationship with city governments and state governments to protect the driver.
