Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey vetoed a city ordinance that would have established a minimum wage for rideshare drivers (Uber and Lyft). Here's a breakdown of the situation:
The Proposed Ordinance
Goal: Guarantee a minimum wage for rideshare drivers in Minneapolis.
Rationale: Supporters argued the ordinance was necessary to ensure fair pay, claiming that rideshare companies weren't providing drivers with a livable wage.
The Veto
Mayor Frey's Reasons:
Potential for unintended consequences: Frey cited concerns that the ordinance would force rideshare companies, particularly Lyft, to leave Minneapolis, ultimately limiting transportation options and harming consumers.
State-level approach: The mayor argued for a statewide solution rather than a city-specific ordinance to ensure consistency.
The Aftermath
The Minneapolis City Council initially overrode the veto.
Uber and Lyft did not cease operations in Minneapolis. This may be due to factors like market size and the potential for a revised, less strict ordinance.
The debate highlights: The continued struggle to establish fair regulations and working conditions within the ever-growing gig economy.
