Residents of Austin, TX voted by a 56/44 margin NOT to repeal the city's ordinance requiring all drivers for hire to be subject to a full criminal ID check with fingerprints.
Uber and Lyft, whose drivers were not so vetted, spent over $8 million trying to get the ordinance repealed, and when Austin stood firm for the public interest, both announced they were ceasing operations in the city entirely.
Poor little babies can't be mature and do the right thing so they take their ball and go home...
Oh well, Austin still has proper cab companies that do security vet their drivers properly and pay them as the employees they are.
I wish more cities would act to reign in these corporate outlaws.
