    Why do these drivers get paid a 50% higher wage than minimum wage? EMT drivers don’t even get this much

        That’s what the minimum wage is for.

          Sounds like somebody feels entitled to another mans labour at certain prices lol

            Sounds like someone thinks a particular class of worker should make more than their peers for arbitrary reasons.

              I think min wage should be set where a person can live without transfer payments from the state and food banks

                Cool, then Uber drivers should make minimum wage and the push should be to increase minimum wage.

                  Or they can advocate for themselves for a better deal ;)

                  It is called bargaining and lobbying and it it is a protected right.

                  Ridesharing apps surely love doing it. Why are you so hurt that the drivers did it?

      You’re right, and I’m angry too.

      EMT drivers should be paid more (as well as the Uber/Lyft drivers)!

    • Because part of the time they aren’t being paid at all for their work and a good chunk of that money goes into the vehicle and fuel itself. After accounting for all the unpaid labor hours and expenses, it probably still comes out sub-minimum-wage.
