Several US statesrequireUber and Lyft to pay drivers a determined minimum wage, and to provide benefits includingpaid sick leave.

This step forward is a step forward, in those states; it eliminates, there, one of themany reasons to refuse to do business with those companies.

However, the injustices to customers — making users identify themselves to book a ride andto pay, making them run nonfree software, add tracking their movements — are unchanged. Aslong as that continues, I hope you will join me in refusing to do business with them.
