Minneapolis has a minimum wage law and ride-sharing companies want it to be repealed
The Minneapolis council has voted to override Mayor Jacob Frey’s veto of an ordinance which would have required ride-hailing apps like Uber and Lyft to pay their drivers a minimum of $1.40 per mile and 51 cents per minute. The ordinance was first passed last week but later vetoed by Frey. Labor advocates said drivers should have the same opportunities to earn a living wage.
