This is a story of how app drivers from the Twin Cities took on two of the largest ridehail companies in the world and WON. Drivers with @TheMULDA united and scored a groundbreaking victory that could set a new standard for the entire nation. (1/7)

“I’d been a driver for 8 years when I got deactivated. Uber gave me a number to call to find out why I lost my job out of nowhere but the number didn’t work. I can’t even order an Uber as a passenger now. There’s no due process for drivers.” -Bernard, Chicago Gig Alliance driver

Yes, the mayor and governor were working with Uber/Lyft the whole time, prioritizing their profits.

Council was with working class people to help them meet their needs.

Why is the mayor bumping this? Its not news. It’s just proof that his priority was always the corporations.

The Minneapolis City Council was poised to pass its own rideshare minimum wage later this week. However, now that it would soon be void, Council Member Robin Wonsley — a months-long proponent of the proposal — says the final vote is off the table. kstp.com/kstp-news/top-…

Minnesota has passed the strongest labor protections for rideshare drivers in the nation.

Among other wins, the bill raises driver pay by 20% by setting a new state minimum wage.

Drivers lifted the bill's sponsor on their shoulders after it passed.

Timberwolves, UMN workers, and Uber/Lyft drivers all won on the same day (I knew nothing about MN basketball until today)

We got it done, passing the strongest rideshare driver protections in the nation and a 20% wage increase. Proud of Mulda for their tireless efforts.

Woo-hoo! MN Senate just passed a bill to end the Minneapolis 2040 lawsuit & protect cities from similar litigation. On a 34-14 vote, 'Comp Plan Clarity' is on its way to the Governor! #mnleg

“The Minneapolis City Council did us a great service by putting this on our plate and making sure that we were taking it seriously and getting it done this year, and we did.” - Jamie Long

State leaders stood with drivers to ensure fair wages 🙌 thank you. Lots to celebrate.

I joined esme murphy to talk about the huge win for drivers last night. Our City Council pushing this issue and standing strong for over 2 years is going to lead to Minnesota being only the 2nd state in the country to pass statewide TNC regulations.

Breaking News! Victory for the drivers as the TNC Protection Bill will be signed by the governor. A big thank you to all the local and state officials who made this possible!

It’s very important to thank great council members like .Aurin Chowdhury Council Member W12 .Robin4mpls and Chavez .Jason Chavez - Minneapolis Ward 9 for the fact that they stood strong. They didn’t waiver. Sen Fateh worked hard, but the first step was not backing down from these corporations and their threats.
