Uber and Lyft Settle Massachusetts Lawsuit with $32.50 Hourly Minimum for Drivers




Uber and Lyft have agreed to a $32.50 hourly minimum pay for Massachusetts drivers and will pay $175 million to settle a lawsuit alleging they misclassified drivers as independent contractors. The companies will also provide paid sick leave, accident insurance, and healthcare stipends. 


Uber will pay $148 million and Lyft $27 million, with at least $140 million going to drivers. This settlement comes as Massachusetts' top court allowed a ballot measure on driver classification to proceed. Attorney General Andrea Joy Campbell praised the agreement, highlighting the need for driver benefits and fair pay, while Uber and Lyft emphasized driver flexibility.
