This context means nothing. They made a law protecting workers, the mayor vetoed it. Uber is much happier with this. And Lyft, who made no agreement, is ecstatic!

Yay corporations!

Uber is happy because they will know drivers will flee to their platform for higher guarantees. Whether Lyft will remain in the city or compete is something we will find out.
