Lyft and Uber Threaten to Leave Minneapolis Over Proposed Minimum Wage for Drivers

Minneapolis city council narrowly passed an ordinance establishing a minimum wage for rideshare drivers.
The proposed minimum wage would guarantee drivers at least $1.40 per mile and $0.51 per minute during rides.
Lyft and Uber strongly oppose the ordinance, warning they may halt operations in Minneapolis if it goes into effect.
Supporters argue the wage floor protects drivers from exploitation, while opponents raise concerns about increased prices.
Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey has not indicated if he will sign or veto the controversial ordinance.
