Back-and-forth moment at te state Capitol yesterday, after threats from Uber to cut off services outside the Twin Cities seemed to convince Governor Walz to veto a bill that established a minimum wage for rideshare drivers.
If you are someone in the Twin Ports who relies on Uber or Lyft for rides you may have noticed that there have been longer wait times or no rides available at all. Apparently this is a problem nationwide since businesses have reopened and there is set plan on when this situation will improve.
This may be in part to the overall worker shortage that has hit every industry across the country. In Minnesota and Wisconsin the extra unemployment benefits that were introduced during the pandemic do not end until September which has some wondering if that is part of why so many businesses cannot find workers right now.
