This is absolutely horrible. This is the gig economy and this is what will happen everywhere if we are not vigilant. This is why we all need to stand together to uphold employment rights. If we let this become the new norm for some it can become the new norm for all

It's really bad that this driver received less than 25% of what the rider paid. It seems like @Lyft and Uber are rushing to exploit drivers before laws are put in place. Where is the Mayor Jacob Frey?

Interesting study falsifying Uber's claims that minimum pay guarantees for workers will hike up customer fares. The (unsurprising) truth of course is that fares are going up anyway, and not into drivers' pockets: thehill.com/opinion/civil-…

Doug Ford is pretending the Digital Workers Rights Protection Act Protects workers.
It's actually a Slap-in-the-Face. This Conservative law will enshrine the right for Billion-dollar companies to pay their workers *LESS* than min-wage!

Like hundreds of Lyft users, I received an email today that they’re leaving Mpls on May 1st.

What they fail to mention is that they’re choosing to “leave” because they simply do not want to pay their drivers, a largely Black & immigrant workforce, our minimum wage of $15/hr.

NEW: Minneapolis city council is setting minimum pay standards for gig workers. Los Deliveristas Unidos applauds the courage of local leaders to stand up against giant corporations to protect workers and their families. In NYC, we will keep organizing to win respect, dignity and rights.

The decision by Minneapolis city council to set minimum pay standards for gig workers is huge. Following the minimum wage law in New York City we see municipal governments have a strong role to play in the fight to uphold working conditions. Let’s see what is possible in Toronto

🚨 Breaking news 🚨 Minneapolis city council overrides mayor’s veto on rideshare ordinance that would pay @uber Lyft drivers better. Bravo to Mulda and everyone who made this possible.

You inspire all of us across the country 👏🏿👏🏾👏🏽👏🏼👏🏻!

No doubt the safety of GO Transit riders is a priority. But the way Metrolinx is handling this feels like a punishment to so many that may not know or have a choice as to the ebike &/or batteries they are using.

Uber Eats pretty quiet in your corner.

🚨 Wages are clearly going down for app-based workers.
📢 Doug Ford & David Piccini your legislation is NOT
Reverse your law, end misclassification & stop pandering to corporate profiteers like Uber @Loblawco Staples Canada

We are allowing this type of employment to happen in Ontario right now. We are letting labour laws erode. This is unacceptable. There is no floor for how low Uber workers are being paid. This will be looked back on with shame. We need to be accountable as a society

Lunch shift of a worker yesterday on Uber Eats in Toronto. Zero orders declined. This was the only order the worker received & they took it. They were logged in and riding around downtown for 2h30 min but according to Uber’s idea of engaged time they only worked 9 min! Insulting
