Uber is limiting access for drivers in New York City during their shifts to lessen the impact of the minimum wage laws in the city. This action stops drivers from accepting rides and signing in, to reduce operating expenses related to the salary floor that is required. Uber aims to manage the consequences of local laws that establish minimum wages for drivers and regulate costs by restricting the number of available drivers. Because it interferes with drivers’ ability to work and make a steady income during their planned shifts, this method has generated a great deal of controversy.
