Pay raise for New York City ride-share drivers on hold after Uber sues
NEW YORK -- A scheduled pay raise for ride-share drivers is on hold.
Drivers were supposed to get a raise beginning next week, but a judge put the increase on hold after Uber sued to block it.
Uber and Lyft drivers were set to earn just over 7% more per minute and 24% more per mile.
Uber said the increase would force it to shell out $21-23 million more a month and force them to increase rider fares.
The Taxi and Limousine Commission plans to appeal the ruling.
