The article’s characterization by DriveForward lobbyist of a negotiation is laughable. When Uber is on both sides of bargaining table, the conversation goes something like this: “In exchange for anti-worker policy, I’m also willing to agree to more anti-worker policy.”
It’s outrageous that Drive Forward - a lobbying grp whose board is controlled by Uber & DoorDash - has been elevated as the “voice of workers” by CM Sara Nelson. On one side of negotiating table? Uber & DoorDash On the other side? Oh, also Uber & DoorDash

A dispatch from the debate over the minimum wage for app-based delivery drivers. One interesting tidbit: the companies have been pushing for a full repeal of mileage reimbursements. As it stands now, the proposed rate is about half of the IRS's standard. seattletimes.com/seattle-news/s…

The collusion of app-based delivery corporations to impose junk fees was a political & PR campaign disguised as a business decision. The goal: provoke a backlash to dupe the new council into repealing minimum wage for delivery drivers. Will @SeattleCouncil fall for it?
@KromanDavid Ugh, as a driver I did think at first maybe they went a little too strict, but it proved to be a temporary market shock and my income has now risen. So effectively this is the city council convening to cut my pay!
