Congresswoman Ayanna Pressley and State Senator Lydia Edwards have voiced their support for workers and activists, who say tech companies are exploiting rideshare drivers.
that would continue classifying delivery and ride-share drivers as contractors rather than employees.
"We reject the idea that big tech is exempt from the requirement and responsibility to pay workers a living wage, provide paid leave, or enforce anti-discrimination laws," Pressley said. “You really have to be selective in the rides you’re taking right now. But I’m at the point where it’s not sustainable. I’m spending more money than I’m making due to the gas prices alone."Both Uber and Lyft say they’re offering drivers cash back programs. Drivers would be able to receive up to $0.35 per gallon at select gas stations. Uber announced it was implementing a temporary surcharge on customers to help offset surging fuel costs. The surcharge will be either $0.45 and $0.
