I don't want to take sides, but how is spending $3 million to compensate their own drivers vs. $1 million going to the ACLU which benefits people other than Lyft's "employees" in any way equal?
- FeepingCreature 10y agoIsn't what Uber has done better? At least for Uber drivers. They're standing by the people they're benefiting from, instead of an undirected donation. An analogy: a company has an oil spill, so they donate to Greenpeace.
- azinman2 10y agoIt's clearly not undirected -- it's explicitly to fight in court the executive order as unconstitutional, which then applies to the entire US and not just their own tiny ecosystem. Further, 3mil to their own drivers (which I haven't heard about but whatever) doesn't change US law -- so if their driver is booted out of the country, a few thousand dollars ain't much if you're thrown into a civil war or worse.
