Garcetti is facing criticism for appearing with Lyft executives at an event to celebrate the company’s initial public offering.
Advertisement“L.A. is leading America's transportation revolution, and @Lyft is a part of that promising future,” the mayor tweeted Friday. “Their spirit of corporate responsibility will guide the future of public-private partnerships that benefit residents first.”
Gonzalez linked to Garcetti’s tweet and wrote: “Last I checked ‘corporate responsibility’ includes treating their workforce with dignity & respect. There were LA Lyft drivers on strike this week. We will fail as Democrats when we choose corporate decadence & greed over workers.” “Our mayor stood with a company that is profiteering from the labor of many good people in Los Angeles,” Moore said. “This is a challenge to him to reach out to us.”
Nationwide, the company said it will commit $50 million — or 1% of profits — to cities where it operates. Lyft, like Uber, is currently not profitable, however.
