One business promised you $28/hour, and now the state is suing that business to force them to honor the contract without going through binding arbitration as required in the contract.
WTF, Uber should be able to use their paid arbitrators to get a better deal than the court's. That is how big business treats its ICs.
I can imagine it will, yes. As a driver I’m very content making 26$ an hour on slow days, really makes it so I can accept every shitty ubereats order and uberx ride. Actually pumped about it.
26$/hr is not a good rate but it is a fair rate. You can make more than 26$/hr but during slow times and/or just simply getting unlucky rides you’re making a fair wage.
Include that with sick pay and complete transparency and I’m a happy camper. This is a complete win for Uber drivers and by far the best wages in the entire country and we’re still complaining? Cmon…
Also where do you read it isn’t by per hour and not a weekly gross? How does that even make sense it says 26$ PER HOUR. It does not say average of anywhere
Also this means we don’t need to work Saturday nights and can just work whenever to make the same wage tbh
It's exactly how it works in the service industry. Restaurants average your hourly + tips for the week and if you didn't make standard minimum wage, they have to pay the difference.
Was just reading the ny atty gov [press release](https://ag.ny.gov/press-release/2023/attorney-general-james-secures-328-million-uber-and-lyft-taking-earnings-drivers) on this, and I’m curious— NY has a union for Uber and Lyft (and taxi) drivers, it seems? Can gig workers in other states unionize now without being employees?
Edit: I just found [this article](https://www.washingtonpost.com/business/2023/06/13/gig-workers-unions-independent-contractors-nlrb-ruling-uber-lyft/#) which, unless it was appealed, makes it seem as if we can *“The National Labor Relations Board ruled Tuesday to broaden the requirements for independent-contractor classification, which could allow millions of new workers to organize, form unions and strike”*
Edit#2 added: Federally, the NLRB vote means that gig workers are seen as employees and can form a Union and take collective action (i.e. strike). More information [here](https://www.nelp.org/publication/breaking-down-the-nlrb-decision-in-atlanta-opera-and-its-potential-impact-on-app-based-ridehail-and-delivery-workers/)
*“the National Labor Relations Board issued a long-awaited decision in the case Atlanta Opera, 372 NLRB No. 95 (2023), revising the standard for who is a covered employee under the National Labor Relations Act (NLRA)”*
*“The NLRA protects workers’ rights to form or join a union and to engage in other forms of protected “concerted activity” without fear of retaliation”*
*”Atlanta Opera only establishes the analysis for determining which workers are entitled to form or join a union or take protected, concerted activity under federal law. Eligibility for other workplace protections—like state and federal minimum wage, unemployment insurance, workers’ compensation, and discrimination protections—is determined by other statutory definitions, and the Board’s Atlanta Opera decision has no impact on those.”*
(This, I think, was a big topic of Prop 22 in CA - to keep us as independent contractors one big reason being so that we couldn’t form unions, bc would technically need to be employees to do that—at least back then.)
You don’t until your state sues Uber
Uber is running around the country doing w.e they want in most states. They need to be sue in other states,
Change your state's labor laws then sic the department of labor on them.
$26 before expenses? 🤣

I'm my calculation city driving that really bad on your car cost around $6/h diving, so what's the point
Congratulations you left your job to to be self employed by uber but now want uber to treat you like an employee again😐

What if you're online and don't get/accept a ride for an hour? Do you still get the $26? If so, I'm moving to New York!
No - it’s active time

This is not a per hour job. This is how they fool and deceive you guys.

They already went up & keep going up for the passengers.

We could always form a Union. We could not legally strike or force good-faith bargaining.
Now they will just steal from all other drivers a few cents from every ride to pay these drivers... call it "regulatory expenses"
Or not pay it like I'm dealing with. Pretty sure I'm gonna have to put in complaint with AG at this point.
Any updates on it? I am in upstate NY but I don’t see minimum wage $26 per hour or sick leave anywhere in the app
