Minnesota Governor Tim Waltz has vetoed a law that would result in guaranteed minimum pay for ridehail drivers after Uber threatened to end service in the Twin Cities area if it went into effect.

The bill would have mandated minimum per and minute per mile payouts to drivers, with different rates set for the Twin Cities area and for the rest of the state. The pay would have been indexed to inflation. The bill also states that nothing in it “prohibits collective bargaining or is a basis to conclude whether a driver is an employee or independent contractor.”
