Why do these drivers get paid a 50% higher wage than minimum wage? EMT drivers don’t even get this much

1 1 ReplyI think min wage should be set where a person can live without transfer payments from the state and food banks
2 0 ReplyCool, then Uber drivers should make minimum wage and the push should be to increase minimum wage.

It is called bargaining and lobbying and it it is a protected right.

You’re right, and I’m angry too.
EMT drivers should be paid more (as well as the Uber/Lyft drivers)!
