Michael Moya's shift from a rewarding Uber and Lyft driving experience in Florida to an exhausting struggle in Massachusetts reflects the changing landscape of gig economy work, highlighting the disparity in pay and working conditions.
Despite a recent settlement between Massachusetts' attorney general and Uber and Lyft aimed at improving driver compensations and benefits, the critical issue of driver classification remains unresolved, leaving many drivers unsatisfied.
Kelly Cobb-Lemire expressed frustration over the outcome of the settlement, emphasizing that the primary goal was to achieve employee status for drivers, a significant issue that remains unaddressed.
