I thought Uber said they would leave altogether if they passed that law. If the mayor didn’t veto then wouldn’t that lead to a lot of job loss?

I dont see how it can be called a “job” if it doesn’t pay even minimum wage

If they left, others would take their place. In this situation, only ride share mega companies win, and at the direct expense of those at the very bottom.
