Uber Threatens to Shut Down Service in Minnesota Following Veto of Minimum Wage Bill for Drivers

Minnesota passed a bill guaranteeing a minimum wage for Uber and Lyft drivers but the governor vetoed it following threats from Uber to limit service.
Uber said it would stop serving most of Minnesota and only offer premium service in Minneapolis and St. Paul if the bill was signed into law.
The legislation would have required rideshare companies to pay drivers $1.45 per mile and $0.34 per minute for time driving passengers.
The governor vetoed the bill but issued an executive order to study the issue and make new recommendations.
Rideshare drivers around the US have been pushing for higher wages, benefits and job security.
