Supporters, including organized groups of drivers and some labor advocates, say the set of minimum pay scales and other protections, is the best way to ensure drivers earn the equivalent of the city's $15.57 hourly minimum wage. While driving for Uber or Lyft is often seen as a side gig, it has become the sole source of income for many drivers.

What drivers get

The plan approved Thursday guarantees a floor of $1.40 per mile and 51 cents per minute.

Frey had been pushing a plan that set a minimum payment of $1.20 per mile and 35 cents per minute.

The plan approved by the council also includes some of the following provisions:

* $5 minimum payment for any ride
* Annual increases in line with the city's minimum wage rules
* If a ride is canceled while the driver is en route, the driver gets 80% of the fare
* Restrictions on how money can be deducted from drivers' wages, and a prohibition for cutting into the drivers tips
* Protections from retaliation

$0.51 per min x 60 min/hr = $30.60 per hour, just from the fucking per-minute portion, never mind the $1.40 per mile that's in addition to that, you absolute fucking clowns.
