Wow, he negotiated a contract with Uber only. Lyft drivers fucked. Drivers will probably flee to Uber for higher guarantees. Will Lyft compete to retain their talent or continue to pay the minimum? Or will they drop out of the city entirely and leave Uber as the de facto monopoly in drive sharing?
Mayor pretty much gave a middle finger to its people with the veto. I wonder how much the mayor was wined and dined to ignore 8 months of work by the city and consultants
LMFAO, it's a verbal contract bro, they aren't required to do anything. They won't do anything. This was just purely fucking over the people.
Verbals binding. Hope there's audio of that conversation.
And any gumption to hold them to their word. Both of them.
Sweet summer child...
No, they're right. Verbal contracts are binding in a court of law. Now, Uber having a fuckton of money to make it impossible to enforce is a different thing altogether.
