The relationship between working
hours and productivity has greater significance for India in view of the PAIGAM, UPenn and IFAT report, which shows that 78 percent of respondents were between 21 and 40 years. 1/2

Just heartbreaking and horrible. My stomach and heart hurt at the same time.

The cruelty. The stupidity. I’m broken. Ms. Hall, my heart goes out to you and your loved ones.

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

Minneapolis drivers and the City Council will not be bullied by companies who simply don’t want to follow rules set to ensure drivers make enough money to live. #Solidarity Rideshare Drivers United

I cannot get over this!

In reference to the extraordinary dangers of delivery work and the high number accidents, Bolt (a global ride-hail and food delivery company) expresses concern about worker death & injury? NO.

The food spillage that happens with these accidents!!! 🤯

Funny math. Remember Lyft’s promise to pay drivers at least 70% of passenger fare? And claiming they were already doing that? Here’s the math, boys and girls. Here’s how you make 50% = 70%. Right? 🙄 Rideshare Drivers United

So the mayor is saying he *doesn't* think all workers should have a minimum wage? You know who has been historically excluded from minimum wage protections?

Immigrants and Black workers. Oh, wait.

Sorry man, forced arbitration and misclassification made this your problem. Cities should be especially insistent on setting industry-specific minimum wages where employers cheat the system to avoid unions and enforcement of generally applicable wage laws.

.Uber Lyft say they'll leave Minneapolis bc of its new driver min wage, but there's a bigger picture: These companies go bananas when gov't anywhere (Austria, Phoenix, Quebec) passes laws to constrain them. Laura Padin & I wrote about it Minnesota Reformer 1/ minnesotareformer.com/2024/04/08/ube…

Worse than crying wolf, UberLyft attempt to hold communities hostage & require substandard labor, safety, & regulatory rules. We all have to stand strong against the schoolyard bullies. We can't let them shape a substandard future. Rideshare Drivers United minnesotareformer.com/2024/04/08/ube…

Taking away worker’s rights just until they can just take away the worker.

Spot on from John Oliver and Rideshare Drivers United

There are 6 initiatives potentially on Massachusett's ballot on Platform work. Teamsters speak out strongly against both the company-initated ones that are versions of CA's Prop 22, as well as 1 that came from some unions that undermines labor rights, creating a 'third way.' 👍

Nicole Moore The software itself doesn't give people rides, the drivers with cars do.

An app can only do so much, you still need #Workers

Good to know who pays Chicago Tribune ‘s bills. LyftUber are doing great in Seattle & NYC where the rates guarantee a living wage for drivers. No reason Minneapolis should be different. Sure LyftUber prefer to pay drivers less than minimum after expenses. But is that right?
