NEW YORK (1010 WINS) — A Manhattan judge temporarily blocked a city-mandated pay raise for ride-share drivers that was scheduled to go into effect next week.
Uber sued the Taxi and Limousine Commission on Friday to block the rate hike.
Uber and Lyft driver pay rates would increase by 7% per minute and 24% per mile under the new rule. The TLC said a 30-minute, 7.5 mile trip would require a minimum payment of $27.15 for the driver.
The raise was slated to take effect on Dec. 19.
Judge Arthur Engoron ordered the rule be delayed until after the lawsuit could be resolved on Jan. 31, leaving ride-share drivers without a holiday raise.
The TLC plans to appeal the decision.
