There’s
only a few weeks left in this tumultuous presidential campaign, and
with all the twists and turns nobody can tell how it will end. Of
course, the All-Seeing Trump may have an idea, but should we be careful what we wish for? All we know for sure is who are the latest Winners & Losers.
WINNERS
Sean Basinski – After a two-and-a-half year battle, the director of the Street Vendor Project may soon see the fruits of his labor
on every corner. The New York City Council plans to introduce
legislation to modernize the quagmire of regulations that has spawned a black market for food vending permits.
However, one reform would double the permits, which is sure to face
opposition and has already riled up at least one midtown business
leader.
Bhairavi Desai – The president of the New York Taxi Workers Alliance crashed Uber's
party thanks to a state Department of Labor ruling that two drivers
were in fact employees, and not independent contractors, a status for
its drivers that the ride sharing company has consistently pushed. The
drivers will be able to claim unemployment insurance, meaning the
company will have to pay its part of the bill. While this seems a small
victory, it could have larger implications in future cases.
