By the end of the year, NYC will impose pay increases for Uber and Lyft drivers

Uber and Lyft drivers will see another fee increase in March. The hike will be “based on inflation comparing December 2022 to September 2022,” according to a New York Taxi Workers Alliance (NYTWA) statement. The union said that this was the first step in a campaign to guarantee that drivers get at least $25 per hour in take-home pay after expenditures. “We’re going to leverage the momentum of this driver rise, which comes against employer resistance and after a lengthy delay, to push our struggle for a job with respectable wages, job security, and retirement,” said Bhairavi Desai, executive director of NYTWA.
