In Minnesota, Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey has vetoed a city ordinance that would have granted a minimum wage to Lyft and Uber drivers. Frey said after the veto he’d reached a deal only with Uber for a commitment to pay drivers the city’s minimum wage of $15 an hour. Lyft drivers are not covered under the mayor’s agreement. Minneapolis City Councilmember Robin Wonsley said in response, “This veto is an inexcusable betrayal of Minneapolis workers.”
