I work part time for Lyft and I count this as a victory.

Weird wording.
This was definitely not "in favor" of drivers

Big company greed … they want you to do everything and take half the money, make the people pay more for the ride and the driver gets less and if something happens you are on your own, if someone destroys your car Uber deductible is 2500$ like they need to destroy the whole interior for you to go through Uber insurance

Yeah I'm pretty sure Lyft and Uber are paying up enough to get there way

It's not a victory for drivers..they have no benefits-no health insurance, unemployment, workers comp, retirement...

Hey ? People driving all day and can't even afford roof over your head in roommate situation bothers everyone's ears doesn't it ?
Some drivers app accounts are forced to be poor even with made up false reports created by Uber employees affiliated Facebook friends .

It is a benefit for drivers this is part time work. To make an extra buck. That’s all it’s ever been. If you chose this for full time work than you’ve made bad choices as far as making money or providing for a family is concerned. Get a real job pretty easy in this market .
