🟥 BREAKING: Uber Successfully Delays December 19th NYC TLC Driver Pay Raise
Uber has successfully delayed the implementation of a NYC TLC driver pay raise, ahead of its planned December 19th implementation. Yellow taximeter increase is not impacted
Uber’s recent legal action in New York State Supreme Court, which alleged the NYC Taxi & Limousine Commission (NYC TLC) manipulated inflation data to pass an abnormal driver pay increase (set to go into effect next Monday), has been successful in DELAYING the TLC driver minimum pay increase proposal.
Lyft, the only other company besides Uber subjected to the pay raise, will also be able to delay following the new inflation adjustment to the TLC driver minimum pay formula. TO BE CLEAR, the court action delays the driver pay increase, until it can be fully litigated. Uber has not won the case, it has more time to make its legal argument.
The yellow cab taximeter increase is not impacted by Uber’s legal action and will still go into effect next Monday.
According to a court filing, an in person hearing on the matter will take place on the Tuesday, January 31, 2023 at 11am at the New York County Courthouse (60 Centre Street in Manhattan).
Initial TLC Driver Reaction
Prominent driver advocacy groups have begun to express their anger at the ruling and delay. The NYC TLC has yet to make a statement on the court’s ruling.
I hope Mayor Adams, TLC Chairman Do, and City Council Speaker Adrienne Adams are in hushed talks over this issue because this is BS!!
Uber may have a new CEO but still very toxic company.
