(MNN) – The Minnesota Legislature continues to try to strike a deal with rideshare companies and their drivers. On Monday leaders announced they have a deal for companies like Uber and Lyft. Under the latest proposal this agreement would mean a statewide minimum wage for drivers at $1.27 per mile and 49 cents per minute. The Star Tribune reports that the representatives from the drivers’ group say they are willing to accept the compromise. However, Uber’s lobbyist says they “…were not consulted” and “don’t support it.” A Lyft spokesperson says if the statewide rates pass, “we would be forced to shut down across ALL of Minnesota, not just Minneapolis.
