A group of mostly Black and immigrant Uber and Lyft drivers in Minneapolis have successfully fought for a minimum pay rate after the Minneapolis City Council refused to back down in the face of threats from the rideshare corporations.

While Uber's revenue per trip has risen, driver pay has been declining nationwide. Uber initially used venture capital to offer low fares to passengers and high pay to d...
