Council Member Brewer questions Uber on algorithms and banning practices
Brewer asks if algorithms are the place to start and how to ban the practice of setting minimum delivery times, and Gold suggests banning the practice outright rather than studying it.
Council Member Brewer, followed by Hanif.
Thank you.
You opened the can of worms.
Thank you for doing that.
I was waiting for you.
I know.
I know you a very long time.
So my question is then, would the algorithms be the place to start in order to address and do what you suggest for the other competitors?
How would you go about, it has to be a law, I would assume, but again, getting it.
In effect would be differently.
How would you go about doing what you think we should do?
Yeah, I think, you know.
Since you know what to do in general.
I often do not, Councilmember.
But Intro 1069 is looking to collect a bunch of data and have DCWP to do a study to then set a minimum amount of time that a worker can do a trip in, is my understanding of 1069.
Why not just ban the practice of setting a minimum amount of time and not have a minimum amount of time that a worker can do a trip in?
And you think you can get your colleagues to go along with that?
Not that they have to.
If it's a law, it's a law.
They're not here.
Okay.
I appreciate you being here.
Thank you.
You're welcome.
