Draft a centered analysis of Seattle’s rideshare minimum-wage policy and its unintended effects, weaving in the union’s call to limit driver supply. Start by mapping the causal chain: wage mandates, rider prices, demand, and driver behavior (including “deadheading”). Compare policy design choices and potential unintended outcomes with data-driven metrics (prices, wait times, trips, miles with no passengers). Assess the role and motives of unions in labor supply management, distinguishing root causes from protectionist aims. Conclude with balanced policy implications and concrete, testable questions researchers could pursue.
