Why Was Seattle Specifically Mentioned in Uber S1 Filing
at 7:33
Answer
Was it because of Seattle's attempt to regulate ride sharing and scooters, or was it because Uber has a growing engineering presence in Seattle? No. Uber mentioned Seattle in S1 filing because jurisdictions like Seattle are likely to pass minimum wage requirements and to permit drivers to negotiate their wages, which is a huge issue for their business.
