In most discussions around this topic, Uber and Lyft are highlighted as typical examples. This article is no exception. But it includes the following quote from Labor Secretary Marty Walsh: >“These companies are making profits and revenue and I’m not (going to) begrudge anyone for that because that's what we are about in America. But we also want to make sure that success trickles down to the worker,” he said. If he's referring to Uber and Lyft specifically, then he's mistaken. Uber and Lyft remain breathtakingly unprofitable. Would that fact change the way people think about this issue? I think it does... and advocates for reform think it does, too. Otherwise, why would they keep making this "mistake" when they talk about this issue? As a side note: it's pretty poor journalism on Reuters' part to include that quote without any context or criticism, especially since they mention Uber and Lyft by name in the opening paragraph. Or, if he wasn't talking about Uber and Lyft, then Reuters' presentation makes him look like a liar, or at least embarrassingly misinformed. (He's the Labor Secretary after all -- he ought to know what he's talking about.)
