When did this happen? I have heard nothing about this until this post.
No one actually cares about what we think. A broad set of regulations will be set up and then they will move on to the next issue.
Most important to me is a fair procedure for grievances, operated by a third party. These random permanent deactiviations for no obvious reason are unacceptable.
Running their businesses inefficiently while they rob the drivers and then crying how they are losing money -- unacceptable.
I will say this -- In May, I tracked my trips and Lyft's cut from my earning has dropped from 50% to about 34% but I also stopped renting a Lyft car.

Im in L.A. and have not received anything like this.

------------------------
Well, this article is big news. I find it interesting that U/L would only spent $7 per person on training.
All those figures and estimates are for full time employees, assuming 40 hours, for drivers, is that 40 hours logged on or pax in the car ? Will U/L try to set up work schedules?
As with the grocery store industry, management schedules everyone under 40 hours so they are classified as part time and receive no benefits.
Lots of questions and few answers.

It's an email I got this morning. Sounds like they're concerned that such a bill would drive them out of business. Fine by me.

Have to read it several times. The implications are very subtle.
We drivers value the flexibility of the work schedule. They are implying that will be taken away, when that issue has not been established yet. Frankly, I do not see most drivers as qualifying as full time employees. Does full time mean 40 hours of Logged On --- OR --- 40 hours pax related (a) receiving a call (b) driving to pickup (c) trip? Going to be a long week if the latter.
This could get interesting !! Who said the strikes did no good ????

Is this just going to California drivers?

-----------------
This particular article is talking about California Legislation, so yes.

Correction - just checked and I got it at 9:18 am. They are asking for stories to forward to lawmakers and also have a link for the driver to contact their lawmaker independently. Now the campaign on the radio stations make sense. The D.J. ask for listeners to post their positive experiences with Uber and they will be read on the air.

Did you even read the article?

???? Of course, I read the article. Stupid question. The point I am trying to make is this -- All those employer cost figures are based on full time employees that are working 40 hours per week. benefits, taxes, etc. There are many ways for an employer to keep an employee in the "part time" status, where they do not have to pay all those fee. Sorry that was " over " your head but thank you for posting the article. I found it very informative.
